Honda’s Rubens Barrichello has been disqualified from sixth place in the Australian Grand Prix. Barrichello was penalised by stewards for exiting the pits under a red light. It means Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen moves up to eighth place and hence scores a point.

The penalty brought a sad end to what had been an eventful afternoon for Barrichello. After putting in a performance far stronger than anyone had predicted in the RA108, the Brazilian fell victim to unlucky timing when he was forced to pit for fuel under the safety car.

Not only did that infringement earn him a ten-second stop-go penalty, Barrichello also managed to drag over a mechanic as he left his box before the refuelling man had removed the hose from the car. He then rejoined the race, despite the red light at the end of the pit lane, a move which ultimately saw him excluded from the result

"Shortly after we called Rubens in for the second of two planned pit stops, Timo Glock had a crash and the safety car was deployed,” explained team principal Ross Brawn. “We had no alternative but to continue to bring him in because he was out of fuel, although we realised that the pit lane was going to be closed due to the safety car and that this would result in a ten-second stop-go penalty.

“During the pit stop the lollipop was lifted just a fraction early while the fuel hose was just coming off the car. After the pit stop Rubens exited the pit lane when the lights were still red and obviously this is in breach of the regulations. A tough set of circumstances after an otherwise very committed drive by Rubens."

Barrichello’s disqualification means Williams’ Kazuki Nakajima moves up to sixth place, while Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Bourdais is promoted to seventh, despite not finishing the race.

最後結果, Barrichello Pit 衝燈 disqualification, Räikkönen 執返一分

看了 慘烈之餘 目前更擔心一點五月份...

我覺得就唔擔心喇, 反而仲好睇左, 因為贏車唔再側重係車既性能上, 而係車手多左技術去比賽, 何況GP2 上年都冇左TCS都冇出大意外, 所以摩洛哥站三甲可能唔係好似以前來來去去得果兩三隊車隊企上去家喇(vettel , rosberg 同 glock 有機會偷雞上去家)~

講返咁多車退出, 其實我見有三單係同冇左TCS有 少少關係,

第一單係起步, A. Davidson 比 Massa FIX左野之後一架隊三架
第二單係 Timo Glock 尾輪食草之後自炒
第三單係 Massa 隊古達叔叔David Coulthard(又係佢, 好彩呢個世界係有報應[壞 Engine])
其實 Räikkönen 過 Kovalainen 都有少少關係, 不過Räikkönen冇因為咁退出就唔計喇

法拉利壓力大就梗, 不過以 Räikkönen 手車, 追上黎都唔係問題
反而我覺得最唔好彩係 Kubica, 明明佢有機會第二, 唉....

Toro Rosso to be sold ahead of 2010 season Red Bull chief Dietrich Mateschitz confirmed on Tuesday that the Toro Rosso team has been put up for sale. Mateschitz and co-owner Gerhard Berger hope a buyer for Red Bull’s ‘junior’ squad will be in place by the end of next season.

“It is not a big secret that we have put Toro Rosso on the market,” Mateschitz told Motorsport Aktuell. “For the start of 2010 there will be a rule change and there will be no more synergy regarding design and construction of cars between Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso.

“I see the necessity that we continue with one team only for 2010 but we will not sell Toro Rosso during 2008. We will only sell the team if it is put into safe hands. But it will be before 2010.”

Red Bull bought Minardi in 2005 and relaunched it as Toro Rosso for the 2006 season.
