Engineer Rob Smedley confirmed he began complaining of lower back pain during qualifying. Williams said the 25-year-old driver went to be “checked by FIA doctors”. Shortly afterwards, it emerged he had gone to hospital for further tests. Asked if Bottas might have to sit out Sunday’s Australian grand prix, a spokeswoman for the Grove based team admitted: “It could go either way.”
