Formula 1 - what makes a World Champion?

FIA: McLaren instructed Hamilton to let Trulli pass

Lewis Hamilton (GBR) McLaren in the FIA Press Conference. Formula One World Championship, Rd 2, Malaysian Grand Prix, Preparations, Sepang, Malaysia, Thursday, 2 April 2009 Martin Whitmarsh (GBR) McLaren Chief Executive Officer in a media scrum following the disqualification of Lewis Hamilton (GBR) McLaren from the Australian GP.

The FIA have revealed details of the new evidence that prompted stewards to strip McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton of this third place in the Australian Grand Prix and hand the place back to Toyota’s Jarno Trulli, who had originally been penalized for passing Hamilton under the safety car.

According to the FIA, in the original enquiry into the incident, both Hamilton and McLaren stated that they had not deliberately let Trulli pass. However, in interview footage recorded immediately after the race - and not originally seen by stewards - Hamilton says he was instructed to move over for the Italian.

Furthermore, the FIA say that McLaren radio recordings contain ‘two explicit orders’ given to Hamilton to let the Toyota pass. Based on this new evidence the stewards ‘felt strongly that they had been misled’ by the driver and team, resulting in their decision to disqualify the world champion.

I think that a big apology is due to Jarno Trulli from both Hamilton and McLaren in public this weekend on the television

The race was deservedly won by the 3 week old team Brawn GP with Jenson Button leading from start to finish. Rubens Barcichello (second on the grid) had a bad start with the clutch control pushing him back to 10th place and having to drive the first part of the race with a damaged front wing. The incident between Vettel and Kubica moved him up from 4th to 2nd in the closing stages. Another lucky man was Lewis Hamilton who moved up to third after Jarno Trulli., who had started from the pit lane due to rear wing problems yesterday, finished third and was demoted after the race by the stewards:(

Jarno Trulli has lost his third place after stewards penalized him for passing under the safety car in the closing laps. He had runn off the road near the end of the race, losing a place to Lewis Hamilton, but then repassed the world champion once he rejoined the circuit. Soon after Hamilton suddenly slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road and Trulli thinking that he had a problem, overtook him. This erro cost the Italian a 10-second stop-go penalty as a result, but since the offence happened within the flast five laps he was given a 25-second penalty added to his race time dropping him to 12th.

Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel has been given a 10-place grid penalty for next weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix following an incident during the closing stages of todays race. Vettel collided with BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica when the Polish driver attempted to overtake him. Following a post-race investigation, stewards decided to penalise the young German for 'causing a collision and forcing a driver off the track’.

Melbourne Australia Formula 1 Brawn Button & Barichello

Melbourne Australia Formula 1 Brawn Button & Barichello

Yes the 3 B´s against all odds pulled it off in Australia this afternoon.

Brawn GP (previously Honda) during the winter thought at any time that they would have to join the Credit crisis and shut their doors. I believe that Ross Brawn purchased the company for one pound sterling (($1.40).

Niko Rosberg has set the fastest practice this morning making it 3 fastest practices in a row. This afternoon it was Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello (remember him being ordered by Ferrari in an Austrian GP to pull over and let Michael Schumacher win?) fighting
it out until the last minute as to who would take the honours for pole. In the end it was the Brit from the Brazilian. It was only several days ago that Rubens knew that he had a drive for 2009

Pre race comment - no commet - a bit controversial!

A date has been set for the FIA International Court of Appeal hearing over the diffusers on the Brawn GP, Toyota and Williams cars. It will take place in Paris on April 14 in the week prior to round three of the championship, the Chinese Grand Prix.

Stewards passed the cars of all three teams in Melbourne on Thursday, prompting protests from rivals, who believe their diffusers may be illegal. Those protests were rejected, a decision that was subsequently appealed by Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and Renault.

This means that these 3 teams could loose any points scored this weekend and the next GP if Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault are successful with their appeal
