There could be more to come, too, with Sporting Director Alan Permane saying they have work to do in extracting the most from the soft tyre on the first timed lap in qualifying. The race pace looks less good, as they drop down to fifth. Over one lap, they appear to have the sixth fastest car, but had Lando Norris hooked up all of his best sectors, he would have been sixth quickest of all. There’s work to do, though, with both drivers chasing more comfort in the car, Sainz admitting they are suffering from porpoising. The struggles of Barcelona pre-season running seem a world away for Alpine right now. Here are five things we learned at a revamped Albert Park in Melbourne.

Ferrari fired a major warning to its rivals at the Australian Grand Prix on Friday, while Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren showed small signs of improvement.

“Because we’re so far behind and because of the cost cap we can’t afford to just throw things at it and trial and error at race weekend. “We need to obviously close that gap but there‘s nothing substantial this weekend that will do that,” he said. I don’t have a second in my pocket but of course you’ll find a bit as the week goes on.” “I suspect the team working the hardest tonight will be Red Bull,” he said. A week after we went to Saudi and we showed more competitiveness — that was really just a track dependent thing. “You said crazy, It‘s definitely a good crazy. That certainly stood out and it’s awesome. He will meet with the stewards after FP2. Hopefully this circuit, I think it does lean more to a Saudi layout than a Bahrain one and I think that will help us a bit with where we currently are.” “Until then, we need to maximise each opportunity and make the most of the package we have.” There’s a lot of support and love and it’s not just for me, it’s for F1 and I think everyone is just stoked to have the race back here.” He added: “It’s so versatile.

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.

The tyres of the W13 did not get hot enough, but the team worked all evening to find a solution. It looks like Red Bull will be able to compete with their Italian rivals mainly in the long runs, but who knows, Verstappen and Sergio Perez might still be able to get involved in the fight for pole position. The Australian Grand Prix promises to be another exciting battle between Red Bull Racing and Ferrari. In qualifying, it will become clear who has the fastest car this weekend.

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. Reigning world champion Max Verstappen was left bitterly disappointed after being forced to retire during the Australian Grand Prix when his car suffered further issues with its fueling system.

'Nothing works': Mercedes' grim championship reality laid bare.

“We need to keep digging into the data. “There’s just not a lot we can do. It’s just difficult.” “That’s the difficult thing. “It’s just nothing you change on the car makes a difference at the moment,” he said. “There’s quite a few midfield cars ahead of us and obviously we’re quite a long pace away from the front, so we need to work hard tonight to understand the limitations.”

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.

As he returned to the pits at the end of Q1, Albon, who will drop three places on the Melbourne grid as a result of his crash with Stroll in the Jeddah race, was ordered to pull over and stop his car ahead of the penultimate corner when Williams detected a problem. On that, only Gasly and Vettel were able to set personal bests, which meant Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen – one of the most active on the final warm-up lap as he passed the Williams and Ricciardo to head the pack – missing the cut in 16th and 17th behind Schumacher, who out-qualified Magnussen for the first occasion in their time as Haas team-mates. As Latifi was passing by, Stroll turned right – possibly to get out of Zhou’s way as is the requirement for drivers not on a flying lap – and the pair made contact, breaking the Aston’s right-front suspension and sending Latifi spearing into the wall and smashing all the corners on his Williams. Sainz was unfortunate to not complete his first Q3 flying lap just as the red flags were brought out for Alonso’s crash and he could not match his team-mate’s pace in the final minutes. But Leclerc responded with purple sectors in the first and final thirds – Alonso retaining the best time in the middle sector – to post a 1m17.868s and secure his second pole of 2022 by 0.286s. Alonso had just set a then best time in the middle sector when he lost the rear of his Alpine going through Turn 11, the Spaniard saying after he crashed having been sent into the gravel and then into the wall on the outside, that he had “lost the hydraulics” and “could not change gear”.

This is the last thing I would have wanted; the goal here was to have a clean weekend and so this is extremely frustrating.” Sadly, the congested track and the cooler tyres meant that Alex could not improve, but it was a valiant effort in the circumstances. We struggled a bit with the balance in qualifying, but we cleared a very tight battle with our rivals in Q1 and we still got into a position that will allow us to fight for the points tomorrow. We did the best we could and we had the right approach to this session. I don’t think the result is representative of what the car can do in the race – there is more to come. Hopefully we’ll be in a position to fight tomorrow as the car in the long run felt good and we were able to follow, so hopefully we can follow and pass.” "We found a bit of pace overnight with the changes and were able to get the tyres in a better temperature region today but there wasn't much left in the car. “It was hard but there was potential to be in the top 10. It wasn’t the right thing to do and that costs us a couple of tenths, but Charles put in a tremendous lap, he put everything together and I didn’t. Hopefully tomorrow in the race we can be a lot closer, make it hard for them, have a strong race and enjoy it. We saw that McLaren and Alpine have made a step forward, we just didn’t have the pace to do much better. "Compared to yesterday and to the last race, today was a good day for me. After the difficult start to the season, today’s result is a great boost for everyone in the team, both here at the track and back home.

Fantastic Ferrari, marvellous McLaren and awful Aston: Aus GP qualifying analysis.

Alpine has been at its strongest in the fast second sector, which comprises Turn 6 and the 1.3-kilometre flat-out run down to Turn 9, most of which was a DRS zone. “But at the same time I think the majority of it is just the track. We had to learn still a lot about this new car during the first two race weekend, and I think having the chance to apply these learnings, that’s where performance is also coming from.” “I think the car is getting better and better. Mercedes’s positioning in the order is particularly interesting. McLaren was a standout performer on Saturday, with Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo neck and neck until the final runs, when Ricciardo was mystified by a set of new tyres that offered him no additional pace. His car had succumbed to a hydraulic problem fundamentally shut down his car. It took until the end of Friday to massage the car into its optimum window, and by second practice Verstappen was demonstrating field-leading race pace. “We just need to do a good start and hopefully we can keep that first position.” “I took quite a bit of risk, especially in Turn 6, which was quite tricky,” he said. Maranello’s 2022 machine is complaint, responsive and predictable, and it’s meant Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are inevitable in contention at the point end of Saturdays. It’s the first time both McLarens have cracked Q3 this season.
