Out of fuel and out of luck, Alex Albon booted to back of Melbourne grid
Alex Albon was dropped to the back of the grid for the Australian Grand Prix because there was not enough fuel in his Williams to provide a test sample after Saturday qualifying, officials said. The F1 website reported that Albon "stopped out on track after dropping out of Q1" and that Williams "were later unable to provide the required 1.0-litre fuel sample to the FIA." Albon finished with the 16th best time in the first qualifying run, too slow to progress to the last two sessions.
