Aston Martin have protested the results of Qualifying at the Chinese Grand Prix after Carlos Sainz crashed but carried on during Q2 on Saturday.
The protest concerns article 39.6 of the F1 sporting regulations which state 'any driver whose car stops on the track during the qualifying session or the sprint qualifying will not be permitted to take any further part in that session'. Sainz stopped for over a minute in Q2 after spinning at the last corner but managed to carry on and went on to qualify in seventh behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc.
However, Leclerc, who will start sixth, is more optimistic about the SF-24's race prospects when they will bid to get back ahead of the McLarens, who qualified fourth and fifth, and Fernando Alonso's third-placed Aston Martin. 'On my side, I knew the set-up I chose was not ideal for qualifying but I did not expect to be behind the Astons and McLaren,' said Leclerc. 'But I believe it's a good sign for in that we have the right car to perform well.
