The Kiwi driver will line-up on the grid in fourth, after a one-place grid penalty for a red flag infringement. However, the Kiwi racer also had to take a one-place grid penalty for an incident in Free Practice 1, where both he and his teammate Mitch Evans did not enter into their respective garages during a red flag period. This penalty meant that although Cassidy was the quickest in the Semi-final, out of him and Evans, he wouldn’t be starting in third and instead lines up on the grid in fourth with the penalty applied. Evans will be fifth, with Maserati MSG Racing’s Maximilian Guenther being promoted into the third place spot.
