14:03 Qualifying day - Well the 1st Grand Prix weekend has been full of controversy, and we have not even got to the actual race!
First things, is the diffusers on the Brawn’s, Williams and Toyota’s cars. 3 of the teams lodged a protest about the design, saying the designs wasn’t legal.
The stewards threw the protests out, saying the diffusers are legal. However, the teams making a protest have appealed. The appeal will be heard in Paris in about 2 week’s time on the April 14th.
This does have an effect on the results for the 1st two rounds of the 2009 FF1GP seasons. It means the results will be provisional. What happens in 2 weeks time is anyone’s guess.
Also the 2 Toyotas have been thrown out of Qualifying for having excessively flexible wings. As far as FF1GP is concerned, their starting positions will be taken from their original qualifying positions of 6th and 8th, however they will not be awarded any Qualifying points.
More news will follow after the race. The 1st round of FF1GP results is expected to be up late in the afternoon on Sunday (UK time)
15:30 Race Day - Well what a race! Jenson Button and Brawn wins the Australian Grand Prix! If you was up at 6am this morning like me, then I bet you was on the edge of your seat.
However there was some more controversy with Toyota. Jarno Trulli overtook Lewis Hamilton when the safety car was out. The stewards investigated the incident, and gave Jarno a 25 second penalty, which dropped him down to 12th.
Finally a special mention goes to Sebastien Buemi who started 13th, and drove smoothly and confidently to finish 7th… and that means (Amusingly) that Toro Rosso have beaten Red bull yet again, although a lot of that could be blamed on Sebastian Vettel!
