Australian GP: Revised Grid

Penalties for Williams Martini driver Valtteri Bottas and Esteban Gutierrez are the only changes to the Australian Grand Prix grid . Both changes are the result of gearbox penalties.

But following qualifying there was the possibility of further changes when race stewards investigated fourth and fifth-placed qualifiers Kevin Magnussen and Fernando Alonso for alleged driving infringements. Vettel was also looked at by stewards.

But Magnussen and Vettel were both cleared of failing to slow for yellow flags, while the stewards concluded that Alonso had not impeded Gutierrez.

Valtteri's penalty helps Vettel, but the change will only see him start from twelfth.
Daniel Ricciardo qualified second, between the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.
