SUZUKA, Japan -- Daniel Ricciardo was left fuming after suffering yet another engine failure which cut short his qualifying session at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Australian complained of a power loss during Q2 at Suzuka and promptly returned to the pits where Red Bull mechanics swarmed his car. However, moments later he emerged from the cockpit and it became clear that his qualifying session was over.
Barring any penalties, Ricciardo will start the race from 15th on the grid while teammate Max Verstappen was able to take advantage of Ferrari's weather misjudgment in Q3 to set the third quickest time.
