MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) --- McLaren's Oscar Piastri has crashed out of
Sunday's Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix on the way to the grid, ruling him out
of his home race.
Piastri crashed entering turn four, and hit the barrier before stopping on the
opposite side of the track. He appeared to be uninjured from the crash but his
car was heavily damaged.
McLaren will now run with just one car, Lando Norris, with the race starting at
3 p.m. local time.
George Russell starts on pole position for Sunday's race ahead of his Mercedes
teammate Kimi Antonelli.
