Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
There was a comment on the Sky coverage that Red Bull were having issues with reliability and working on the car as the packaging was so tight.

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
OOOOO Taz , you've got the "evil genius" gene in you , don't you ?
It all fits , dude .
When you think that the drink sales must have been hurting from the Webber treatment , an appeal on this might make them look like heroes for the great Aussie cause .
They'll have to make the FIA look entirely stupid to do it , but they'll get away with it easily , by virtue of having two teams in the game making them quite indispensable .
Even if they don't win the appeal , they will win in sales . Pretty slick if so .
One thing seemingly escaping notice here , though , is that the FIA took five hours to determine a decision .
Given that Red Bull made deliberate decisions to disobey procedures and directions , we should be able to assume that they gave somewhat full reasoning for such moves to those making the call .
I think we may assume also , that those reasons were considered , and that it is , perhaps , why it took five hours .
It's no small thing to disqualify the home town boy , and that point would be crucial in the decision making process .
That's all the more reasoning for the five hours .
But , in the end , they came to this decision , so I think it will stick , no matter how cruel .

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
I understand the FIA told all the teams that this device would be monitored,and they ( The FIA) would come down heavily on any infringements.Glad to see they have stuck to their word,on the first race of the year.Now all the teams understand that any (Cheating) or blatant breaking of the rules will result in heavy action .
Two teams were warned of the fuel meters showing too much fuel pressure during the race ,one Mercedes did something about it ,and their results stands,the other team chose to ignore the advice from the FIA ,and NOT do anything and must accept the penalty .
A pity ,as I feel Ricardo drove a fine race,but RB knew the car was illegal,and were told so ,Dan did not !
His team let him down

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
At this juncture, I would like to correct the guy's name on the thread title. His name is RICCIARDO, pronounced RICHIARDO - in Italian. (Can pino confirm the pronunciation please). Of course, in Oz, he is called Ricardo and it doesn't seem to phase him. Great personality, always friendly with a big smile and a dimple.
For those wondering about the 5 hour delay before RBR was DQ'd, today's news article reports that Ron Walker wanted Ricciardo to have his moment of glory, and champagne bath and adulation from the home crowd after a magnificent faultless drive over the weekend. Jo Baur had already reported the infringement immediately after the race. 'When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

Re: Daniel Ricardo disqualified from Australian F1 race
It is obviously Rich-ee-ardo if it is Italian but on sky/star, they said he prefers it to be Ricardo...a bit weird since I thought you would like
people to call you by your actual name rather than what is easy for them..Tito Vilanova = :champion:
