Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveThat's why we are still under the safety car. The marshals are scampering on the track to pick up the bits of debris. I wouldn't fancy being a marshal on race day.

Lap 4/51
It has not been the start to Sergey Sirotkin's Formula 1 career that he would have been dreaming of. Two retirements (here and Australia) and two 15th-placed finishes (Bahrain and China).
Robert Kubica's thoughts?

Marc Sepetowksi: Alonso has done brilliantly to nurse that car back to the pits in the state it was in. If he manages to finish in the points, which is very possible given there will be more safety cars, then this will be one of the great alonso drives!

One lap gone, two drivers out, three more in jeopardy.
