Zhou set for F1 Australian GP pitlane start after damaging front wing
Zhou qualified last at Albert Park on Saturday after damaging his front wing on his final flying lap. He was running at a similar pace to his teammate Bottas, but ended up starting 19th due to a wing change breach of parc ferme rules. Sauber didn’t have spare wings in Australia, so Zhou had to revert to a previous spec. As a result, he will start Sunday’s race from the pitlane, despite having shown promising pace. Zhou expressed frustration over the incident, as the new wing was supposed to improve car balance rather than performance significantly. Bottas also noted the team’s struggle with rear stability, indicating that work is needed in that area moving forward.
