Max Verstappen will start the first race of Formula 1’s new rules era from the back after crashing in Australian Grand Prix Q1 and causing a red flag. Red Bull’s four-time F1 world champion spun his car on the approach to Turn 1, ending his session immediately. Verstappen suggested his car’s rear axle locked after braking, causing a sudden 180-degree spin likely due to aggressive energy harvesting. Thankfully, he walked away unharmed but will start from 20th. Fernando Alonso was fastest of the eliminated drivers in Q1, with Lance Stroll and Carlos Sainz not setting a time.
