Ricciardo up 5 places and yuki in P7 ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Thanks to everyone who let me know he's still in the new grill the grid video :))
Carlos Sainz points per race in 2024:
bahrain: +15
saudi arabia: -appendix
australia: +25
- Daniel Ricciardo missed out on Q3 by less than a second, but Yuki Tsunoda will start 10th for his home race!! He sadly didn't improve his time in Q3 but an impressive performance nonetheless.
- A few penalties handed out... firstly to George Russell for an unsafe release into Oscar Piastri (ยฃ5000 to Mercedes) and also Nico Hulkenberg for exceeding track limits (time deleted)
- Both Williams missing Q3 again, coming in P19 (LS2) and P14 (AA23). Albon continues to with drive Sargeant's chassis as "the workload to switch the cars back over would be far too much for the mechanics." Although not ideal, the chassis shouldn't be too different weight-wise, and he's expected to have the spare by Miami. The only problem is that the front wing and rear were damaged in FP1, but that has reportedly been fixed.
Q3:
Verstappen of course will start on pole, making 99 pole positions for Red Bull! Lando Norris started Q3 in P2, but Perez put in a good lap and knocked him down to P3. Behind him will be Sainz, then the birthday boy (Piastri), Hamilton, Leclerc, Alonso, Russell, and Tsunoda.
Q2:
Ricciardo, who qualified just 0.055 seconds behind his teammate, will start 11th. Behind him will be Hulkenberg, Bottas, Albon, and Ocon.
Q1:
Stroll starts 16th, knocked out of Q2 by Bottas's final lap, then Gasly, Magnussen, Sergeant and Zhou.
Will be back with a summary of the GP (hopefully) tomorrow!!

> gets a 50 place grid penalty for switching engines
> starts P20
> retires before the race even starts due to a gearbox issue
I would hate to be Pierre Gasly rn ๐ญ๐ญ
Verstappen wins with only 8 tenths of a gap, tyre issues for half the race, questionable amounts of rest after the stint at 24hrs of Nurburgring he did 5 hrs before the race and less than 30% of his battery ๐ญ๐ญ
Iโll just post this now before I decide that I need to edit it anymore
