F1 2019, Australian GP: 5 Race Predictions

#3 Gasly to climb up the grid?

F1 Grand Prix of Australia - Final Practice

Well, Pierre Gasly's start at Red Bull could have been a little better after Saturday's qualifying.

In his first race weekend for Red Bull after leaving Toro Rosso to replace Daniel Ricciardo, the Frenchman failed to get out of Q1.

Yes you read that correctly, he stayed in Q1!

While Max Verstappen had a good drive on Saturday, finishing fourth fastest, the young Frenchman couldn't get out of traffic in time to record a fast enough lap to get into Q2.

Gasly will start the race in 17th position on Sunday but as we all know, Red Bull have a very good race pace.

We should expect Gasly to climb up the grid in the car he's in unless he somehow crashes out on the first corner.

Anything can happen on race day but Gasly shouldn't give up on this weekend just yet.
