A bad start to the season just gets worse for the Silverstone-based team. Now a heavy crash in FP3 that leaves the engineers with a frantic race to get his car ready for qualifying. but will they be ready for qualifying? The session was red-flagged twice after a nightmare for Aston Martin, who had already seen Sebastian Vettel - back behind the wheel this weekend after missing both of the opening races of the season due to Covid-19 - career across the gravel and smash into the wall after a high-speed off at turn 10. Not only did he miss the first two races of the season due to Covid, with reserve driver Nico Hulkenberg stepping up for Aston Martin, but he also had engine trouble after only 18 laps in FP1 and was then fined €5,000 for taking a scooter onto the Albert Park circuit. With the Scuderia on top again on Friday, Lando Norris was top for McLaren in FP3 after a truncated session saw both the returning Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll crash for Aston Martin.

Daniel Ricciardo was partly responsible for a major change at Albert Park but F1 bosses had other ideas, stepping in before qualifying. 3 min read.

“The changes are pretty good, we have to see how they are,” Steiner said. “The surface is very nice. They did a good job with that.” I don’t know how they’re going to get two cars there.” “Turn 11, which used to be 13, I don’t know why they changed it. 2022 is very different to 2019, four DRS zones is too much I think but I don’t want to see an artificial race.

He was just immune to any feedback and even today he has not properly reflected that he did something wrong. “With 15 minutes to go I was in the garage thinking ‘we’re not going to win this’,” he remembers. “You’re almost in neutral, you’re thinking this is an early night, that’s the way it goes. It was the best weekend McLaren have had so far this season with Ricciardo picking up his first points of the campaign and Norris grabbing his highest finish. Toto Wolff’s team have been behind the pace all season and haven’t won a race yet. The former Red Bull driver managed to rise 10 places to give his team a point, moving them off the bottom of the constructors table. It’s going to take a number of races.” “I will be chasing the people in the wind tunnel, the aerodynamic guys, and just looking at every single area,” he said. Lewis does it every day, but you are guy who always seems to know better’. This means there will only be one hour of practice on the Friday followed by qualifying. Their situation is still not quite as bleak as the one at Mercedes, though, who appear hardly any closer to finding a solution to their lack of pace.
