Penalties for
Williams Martini driver Valtteri Bottas and Esteban Gutierrez are the only
changes to the Australian Grand Prix grid . Both changes are the result of
gearbox penalties.
But following qualifying there was the possibility of further changes when
race stewards
investigated fourth and fifth-placed qualifiers Kevin Magnussen and Fernando
Alonso for alleged driving
infringements. Vettel was also looked at by stewards.
But Magnussen and Vettel were both cleared of failing to slow for yellow
flags, while the stewards concluded that Alonso had not impeded Gutierrez.
Valtteri's penalty helps Vettel, but the change will only see him start from
twelfth.
Daniel Ricciardo qualified second, between the Mercedes of
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. |
