Daniel Ricciardo fails to make it through to Q3

Daniel Ricciardo has failed to make it into Q3. He will start the race from 12th tomorrow. On a track that suits the Red Bull car, the team will be disappointed with this result. He was lucky to escape Q1, but the rain caught the driver out in the following session.

Sebastian Vettel went out early to produce a hot lap before the rain got serious. Red Bull will be looking in hindsight as Ricciardo went out when the track was much wetter. Team-mate Max Verstappen has made it into Q3 to challenge the Ferrari and Mercedes for the front row.

Earlier in the week, it was Daniel Ricciardo who was explaining how important it was to start on the front row. Last weekend, the Australian started from the back of the grid due to the penalties he got.
