After a promising pre-season test, Jolyon Palmer was left with a troublesome Australian Grand Prix weekend, with a crash and multiple car issues. The Brit was left frustrated and has called for his team to check the car before next week's Chinese Grand Prix.
Palmer's weekend in Australia was far from smooth after suffering multiple problems in practice before a brake issue forced him to retire from the Grand Prix.
"Obviously I had a big crash on Friday so we've changed a lot of parts on the car," said Palmer. "We just need to have a good look and make sure everything is working as it should. I trust the guys will do that, they're experienced and know what they're doing so I have no worries on my side. We just need to have a good look and make sure we're in a good position to start in China."
Leading up to the race, his car hit gearbox and oil pressure issues which meant he had to start down at the back of the grid. Despite the problems, he saw that the pace was there for the team.
"The start was good, I think on the softs, we struggle compared to the guys on ultra-softs, but still it was looking sensible. It was a shame because it would have been good to do the race distance and see how we ended up, and also it would have been good to have more mileage. Those laps, that's my personal best [consecutive laps on track] across a race weekend and four test days."
