Valtteri Bottas will miss the Formula One season opener in Australia after suffering an injury in Saturday's qualifying session.
The Williams driver wanted to start the race despite a tear in a disc in his lower back, but was deemed "unfit to race" by the FIA Medical Delegate.
Williams released a statement saying they "respect" the decision and will help Bottas receive the appropriate treatment to have him back in the car by Malaysia.
