Aston Martin has protested the qualifying results at the Chinese Grand Prix because of Carlos Sainz’s crash. Sainz spun out of control in the final corner during Q2, hitting the barrier and damaging his front wing. Despite the red flag being brought out to stop the session, Sainz managed to restart his car and return to the pits on his own. Ferrari repaired the front wing, and Sainz was able to continue to Q3, while Lance Stroll was eliminated in 11th place for Aston Martin. The protest is based on a violation of Article 39.6 of the Sporting Regulations, which prohibits drivers whose cars stop on track during qualifying from continuing the session.
