Zhou Guanyu will start from the pit-lane at the Australian Grand Prix due to Stake F1 not having a spare front-wing of the same spec after his wing suffered damage on the kerbs at Albert Park. The end-plate damage was caused by vibrations on the kerb at Turn 10, a corner that caught out multiple drivers this weekend. Despite Zhou’s disappointing P19 qualifying, the team only had spare front wings of a previous spec available, leading to the pit-lane start. Zhou was unaware of the damage until he suddenly locked up on track and noticed the missing part after crossing the finish line. The incident happened due to vibrations from Turn 10, as Zhou mentioned his lap would have been good otherwise. Zhou expressed frustration over the situation, emphasizing the disappointment of missing out on a potentially strong lap due to the wing damage.
