BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Hamilton excluded from Australian results, Trulli regains third

0 points for Hamilton and McLaren!!!!!!


Hurraaahh!!!

McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton has been disqualified from last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix after a second stewards’ investigation on Thursday decided both he and his team had provided ‘misleading' evidence during a hearing held after the Melbourne race.

Hamilton crossed the finish line in Australia in fourth, but was subsequently promoted to third after Toyota’s Jarno Trulli was handed a 25-second time penalty for passing his McLaren under the safety car during the race’s closing laps.

Stewards, however, decided to reinvestigate the incident after fresh evidence came to light and convened a second meeting in Sepang. After the hearing, the stewards issued the following statement:

“The Stewards having considered the new elements presented to them from the 2009 Australian Formula One Grand Prix, consider that driver No 1 Lewis Hamilton and the competitor Vodafone McLaren Mercedes acted in a manner prejudicial to the conduct of the event by providing evidence deliberately misleading to the Stewards at the hearing on Sunday 29th March 2009, a breach of Article 151c of the International Sporting Code.

"Under Article 158 of the International Sporting Code, the driver No 1 Lewis Hamilton and the competitor Vodafone McLaren Mercedes are excluded from the race classification for the 2009 Australian Grand Prix and the classification is amended accordingly."

In addition to Hamilton’s disqualification, Trulli’s penalty has been withdrawn and the Italian therefore regains his third place - and six world championship points.

hey guys what exactly happened in the hamilton case ?

i couldn't watch the race but from what i read, it is said that trulli went wide, lewis overtook him and then gave back the 3rd spot.. now what has he done wrong ?

<or am i missing something ?>

Bond, Desi Bond!
what he did wrong is that he allowed Trulli to pass and didn't inform the same to stewards that he allowed Trulli to pass and since stewards thought that Trulli overtook without Lewis's permission, he was penalized (3rd place to 16th place).

When FIA came to know that it was Lewis that allowed Trulli to pass, they had to DISQ him.

^ hmm..and i was wondering why even after he allowed trulli to pass why he was DQed (not that i wasn't happy with the DQ)

thanks mate :)
