Si Red Bull Racing had produced promising performances at the 2014 Australian GP, the situation seems to have been reversed this year. Daniel Ricciardo, who took second place on the grid in Melbourne last year and a place on the podium before being disqualified, was only able to sign the seventh time of Q3. His teammate Daniil Kvyat failed to make it through Q2.

The Australian lacked running following the Power Unit change during the second practice session and is therefore satisfied with his performance in qualifying. “This is our current rank. I'm pretty happy with what we achieved because the weekend hasn't gone well so far. I only drove on soft tires in qualifying."

Daniil Kvyat also hoped to do better since he is in 13th position behind the Toro Rosso de Max Verstappen. “It was difficult with so few laps. I wasn't comfortable enough to set a good time. The current situation is not simple as we are trying to resolve some issues. »
