Daniil Kvyat has bemoaned his misfortune in Melbourne for the second year running after🍬 he suffered an electrical failure with his power unit on the formation lap for the Australian Grand Prix.

In an almost identical fashion to 12 months ago, Kvyat's Red Bu🐽ll gave up on hi𓆉m before the lights went out for the season opener when he suffered a terminal transmission problems on his out-lap to the grid.

This year the Russian driver🍸 was able to make it to the grid but having completed the formation lap his car ground to a halt while lining up on the st💯arter marks.

It was later diagnosed as anౠ electronics failure with the CU-H unit on the TAG Heuer-sponsored engine, meaning for a second straight year despite qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix Kvyat was unable to complete a single lap through no faulꦡt of his own.

"It looks like an electronic issue put us out of the👍 race before it started," Kvyat said. "I think Australia doesn't seem to be the luckiest place for me🌳 so far. The car just shut itself off - I guess it didn't want to do the race today, but we'll be back in Bahrain and we'll start again from there."

After last year's failure Kvyat maꦚde a tentative start to the season - claiming a total of five points over the opening five races - and came under pressure from Red Bull bosses before fighting back in Monaco with an impressive fourth place.

Kvyat says he has learnt from that experience and is confident he🌊 can get 2016 off to a better start in🌃 Bahrain in two weeks time.

"Last year it was very hard to take, not starting the race, but this year I'm a stronger person so I'll be OK𓃲, these things happe꧋n, that's life and that's racing."
