Australia Grand Prix Result

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Yes. It's another season of Grand Prix with Australia being the 1st stop.
It was not a promising 1st race for the Ferraris.
A driver error by Kimi sent his Ferrari into a wall on lap 42,
Masa retired 3 laps later due to a steering failure.
Trulli was stripped of his 3rd place when race stewards ruled that he had illegally overtaken
Hamilton while the safety car was on the track within the last 5 laps.

Results:
1st - Jenson Button (Bawn-Mercedes)
2nd - Rubens Barrichello (Bawn-Mercedes)
3rd - Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes)

Driver's standing:
1) Button ~ 10
2) Barrichello ~ 8
3) Hamilton - 6

Ferrari, Renault and Red Bull made appeals over the steward's decision to clear
3 rival teams' (Williams, Toyota and Brawn) controversial bodywork. (reae disffusers on the cars). The international Automobile Federation (FIA) said its International Court of Appeal
would hear the appeals in Paris on Apr 14.
