一級方程式賽車 Formula One - 賽車

Daniel Ricciardo has been stripped of his second place in the Australian
Grand Prix after his car failed a technical inspection.

Ricciardo’s Red Bull was found to have “exceeded consistently” the limit
on peak fuel consumption of 100kg per hour, a new rule introduced for the
2014 season.

The stewards confirmed his exclusion from the race results after more than
five hours of deliberation.

Red Bull immediately announced their attention to appeal and released the
following statement:

“Following the decision of the FIA that Infiniti Red Bull Racing is in
breach of Article 3.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations and Article
5.1.4 of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations with car three, the team
has notified the FIA of its intention to appeal with immediate effect.

“Inconsistencies with the FIA fuel flow meter have been prevalent all
weekend up and down the pit lane. The team and Renault are confident the fuel
supplied to the engine is in full compliance with the regulations.”

Kevin Magnussen is promoted to second place and the other McLaren of Jenson
Button takes third.

Sergio Perez’s Force India moves up to tenth place for the final
championship point.
