That is a big blow for the London-born Thai racer. He was not comfortable with the car and was released into traffic.

He’s not happy, neither will Red Bull with that result. He was only 13th quickest and starts BEHIND George Russell.

Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo and Esteban Ocon are also out in Q2.

THE TYRE GAMBLE

Q2 and the decision is what tyre you go on, for this is the one you could end up starting on for Sunday’s race.

The teams further down the grid pick the softest tyre, the one with the red band. It’s quicker, sticker but less durable. Ideal for a flying lap.

The ones at the top, are going for mediums, yellow band. They are marginally slower but more durable.
