Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
Given a chance to alter the Fuel Regulator,as it was delivering too much fuel pressure.Told by FIA ,and given chance to rectify it but refused ,resulting in disqualification after such a good drive to 2nd for Australian Daniel Ricardo
Do RB think they are a law unto themselves ?
Obviously thats why the RB team was able to be so fast and finish 2nd ,with an illegal car !!!

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
The stewards' full ruling is now on Autosport:
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112966
The key seems to be that RBR were informed of the breach and, like Mercedes, given an opportunity to correct it during the race. They, unlike Mercedes, chose not to, relying on their own measurements instead. Arrogance? Confidence? Innocent mistake? With Charlie Whiting saying earlier in the week that this would be a zero-tolerance matter, it seems foolhardy at best.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
During the race? Something that could be changed in a pit stop or remotely?

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
I hope we are not in for a whole season of this kind of BS. They've made F1 so complicated that it's not any fun to watch any more.
Ricardo had what was arguably the drive of the race snatched away from him because he burned too much fuel? Hell, that's what you're supposed to do when you're racing: burn too much fuel, go too fast, make too much noise and kick too much ass. I don't know what the hell we were watching last night but it wasn't racing.

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
If what RBR are saying is correct, i.e that sensor failed in practice and a second one failed in qual, and they where instructed to re-intall the first faulty one and come up with an equation to offset the false readings, the dsq should be overturned.
