Force India’s Adrian Sutil breezed into the third qualifying session (Q3) again and will start Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix 10th on the grid,while HRT’s Karun Chandhok will be in the last row.

Both the Force India cars should have been in Q3 but Sutil’s team mate Vitantonio Liuzzi was caught up in traffic and the Italian,who scored the outfit’s first points in Bahrain,will be 13th on the starting grid.

Hispania driver Chandhok,meanwhile,completed 10 laps in the first qualifying session and was happy to at least start from the grid,unlike in Bahrain where he had to start from the pit lane. “I wanted to make it through Q1 and I did. I am very pleased with this result for our second race,” Chandhok said.

Sutil was not very happy with himself despite making Q3 for the second successive time. “It’s not disappointing to start 10th but it’s not entirely satisfying either as I felt we could have done better,” said the German. “We made it through to Q3,which was another great effort from the team. I made two runs in Q3 and neither was particularly great as the soft tyres didn’t seem to get up to temperature,” he said.

“We’ve had a good pace through the weekend so we have a strong platform to go from but let’s see what happens. At this stage I don’t want to make any prediction.”
