James Vowles looks back on an eventful first day of the Australian Grand Prix weekend. Alexander Albon crashed hard and his car is out of action for the remainder of this weekend. Logan Sargeant is the victim of that, as it is Albon who gets to get into his car. The British team boss speaks of one of his most difficult decisions in his Williams era.
