    • Australia 2009: Amended Race Result

    Posted on April 2nd, 2009 by Oliver White in 2009 Season

    Following the re-investigation into the incident involving Lewis Hamilton and Jarno Trulli in the final few laps of the Australian Grand Prix last weekend, the stewards have decided to reinstate Jarno Trulli’s third place finish and disqualify the McLaren driver. It would appear that fresh evidence was brought to light and while Toyota withdrew their initial appeal, the stewards deemed the new evidence important enough to warrant further investigation.

    The initial race result had Jarno Trulli in third and Lewis Hamilton in fourth, but soon after the race Trulli was handed a 25-second penalty, thus promoting Hamilton and sending Trulli down to twelfth place. This has now been reversed, with Trulli placed back in third and Hamilton completely out of the finishing order.

      Hahaha, well spotted. My first error of the year in the results table is always for the first race! I get better after that when I’m in full swing. I’ll adjust it in a second. Thanks Erik. :)

      I hope this is how the results stay! Too much has been done off the track rather than on it! Fingers crossed for a clean Malaysian GP and good wheel to wheel racing!

      I bet he wishes BMW had given him a Brawn!

      Unfortunately I can see that happening, purely because the FIA seems to think it needs to throw its power round to the maximum.
