Here is the full explination as to why Red Bull were disqualified from 2nd place in Australia. Red Bull Racing has been disqualified from the Australian Grand Prix after it was found in post race inspection that the RB10 driven to second place by Daniel Ricciardo broke the new fuel flow rate rule. In 2014 Formula 1 cars are limited to 100kg of fuel in the race and it cannot flow to the engine at a rate of more than 100kg per hour. It is this second part the, flow rate which Red Bull exceeded. The teams second car retired early with engine trouble. The problem which lead to the disqualification stemmed from Red Bull lacking faith in the reliability of the FIA fuel flow meter and deciding to not use it in the race and relying on a backup mathematical solution instead. The following is an edited version of what happened according to the stewards: In free practice 1 the team noticed a difference in the flow reading between the first three runs and the fourth. Then that difference carried on throughout Free Practice 2. As a result the team used a different sensor on Saturday but did not get readings that were satisfactory to them or the FIA, so they were instructed to change the sensor within Parc Ferme on Saturday night. They reverted back to the original sensor which had given the different readings in Free Practice 1. After qualifying the FIA’s technical representative in charge of the flow meters instructed Red Bull to apply an offset to their fuel flow such that the fuel flow would have been legal. The FIA technical representative went on to state to the Stewards that there is variation in the sensors. However, the sensors fall within a known range, and are individually calibrated (by Calibra Technologies). They then become the standard which the teams must use for their fuel flow. Red Bull then told the stewards that based on the difference observed between the two readings in FP1, they considered the fuel flow sensor to be unreliable. Therefore, for the start of the race they chose to use their internal fuel flow model, rather than the values provided by the sensor, with the required offset. A technical directive issued by the FIA at the start of march does set out the methodology by which the sensor will be used, and, should the sensor fail, the method by which the alternate model could be used (which is apparently what Red Bull did). a. The Technical Directive starts by stating: “The homologated fuel flow sensor will be the primary measurement of the fuel flow and will be used to check compliance with Articles 5.1.4 and 5.1.5 of the F1 Technical Regulations…†This is in conformity with Articles 5.10.3 and 5.10.4 of the Technical Regulations. b. The Technical Directive goes on to state: “If at any time WE consider that the sensor has an issue which has not been detected by the system WE will communicate this to the team concerned and switch to a backup system†(emphasis added by the FIA.) c. The backup system is the calculated fuel flow model with a correction factor decided by the FIA. The FIA’s technical representative observed through the telemetry during the race that the fuel flow was too high and contacted the team, giving them the opportunity to follow his previous instruction, and reduce the fuel flow such that it was within the limit, as measured by the homologated sensor – and thus gave the team the opportunity to be within compliance. The team chose not to make this correction. The stewards decided to disqualify the Red Bull as the team chose to run the car using their fuel flow model, without direction from the FIA. This is a violation of the procedure set out in the technical directive. Although the sensor showed a difference in readings between runs in P1, it remained the homologated and required sensor against which the team is obliged to measure their fuel flow, unless given permission by the FIA to do otherwise (which the FIA did not do). The Stewards were satisfied that by making an adjustment as instructed, the team could have run within the allowable fuel flow and regardless of the team’s assertion that the sensor was fault, it is not within their discretion to run a different fuel flow measurement method without the permission of the FIA. Red Bull however denies any wrong doing and has said that it intends to appeal “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.†If the flow meters (above) are unreliable then it is likely more teams will have issues through the season, not just in Formula 1 but also in the World Endurance Championship which uses identical units in the LMP1 category. The flow meter is supplied by UK company Gill Sensors. Its method of operation and details of how the FIA and ACO are using can be found in the 2014 Race Car Engineering.

This is it Matt, just remove the s at the end of htpp. ..Good Vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=eYLL7-rUGPY

That wasn't a blast..a blast you would be getting about 16 to 18 MPG. that was toddling about...

Here is my guess what was happening. RB has possibly the best brain trust on the pit wall. They don't do dumb things. They knew there was something up with the car, and the only way to keep it running was to flout the 100kg/hr fuel pressure limit. I don't think there was much if any performance gain, that wasn't the issue. RB's issue was they had to do it or the car would likely have retired. The issue, from the FIA standpoint was that they repeatedly told RB what they were doing was wrong, and told them to stop it, and RB didn't. There is no way that I can see that RB thought this was going to end any way other than it did, and there is no way I can see an appeal being successful. RB figured that there would be a feel good factor of a young Australian in his first race in a competitive car in the Australian GP after a disaster winter of testing, finishing on the podium, and public sympathy when he got excluded. They figured that was better publicity than both cars failing to finish the race with powerplant related issues.

A man goes to a shrink and says, "Doctor, my wife is unfaithful to me. Every evening, she goes to Larry's bar and picks up men. In fact, she sleeps with anybody who asks her! I'm going crazy. What do you think I should do?" "Relax," says the Doctor, "take a deep breath and calm down. Now, tell me, exactly where is Larry's bar?"

How does it fit on Dunks. ?

Its a lovely Zed as it is, be interesting to see it with the mods.

About 200 on a full tank in Town. Not much more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was a lot better than I expected, not exactly close racing up front but 4 or 5 closely matched teams in the midfield and some exciting new talent on display. Not the best GP I've ever seen but far from being the worst. Pete I totally agree Pete, for the first race of the Season with all the new changes it wasn't a bad race , I'm only posting what seems to be a common thread with people involved in the sport. I do agree about the sound of the cars, I would much prefer to hear a proper F1 racing engine than the sound of "squeaky" tyres locking up.

Maybe the should have use a underground car park for the sound test..!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4IatIXjUqNA

+1 Come on Will . . spill the beans If I told you that I would have to kill you..!! , but interesting feedback. Quote from another F1 insider..! Lots of moans about the new F1 sound. What did they expect? Turbocharged V6. Turbos always muffle the sound. Porsche 956/962, stunning to look at but sounded like 5hit. Normally aspirated every time, F1 should have gone supercharged. Reckon GP2 will have a lot more fans this year, they'll notice the noise...!!

This is the opinion of the Aus GP by somebody very senior in British Motorsport...Worrying.. Aaaaargh! Sucessfully avoided all media until the 2pm re-run of the Oz GP. What a waste of time that was! A total zedfest. Even the dogs fell asleep. And then another monumental PR fiasco after the race was put to bed. Dunno why Jenson was looking so pleased with himself. A veteran of 14 F1 seasons, and shown the way home by a rookie. Magnificent drive by Magnussen & a great comeback for Bottas. Thank goodness I only watched the 'Lowlights'. I'de have been really mad getting up at stupid o clock to watch that rubbish.....

This is what Lewis had to say about his short race.. My start didn't feel great today and I had a lot less power than usual when pulling away, so it was obvious immediately that something was wrong. It looks like we only had five cylinders firing and, while I wanted to keep going, we had to play safe and save the engine. It's unfortunate but that's racing and we will recover from this. We have a great car and engine, and the pace was really strong today as Nico clearly showed. Big congratulations to him and the team for achieving the win, it's a fantastic result for us. Of course I'm disappointed with my own race and when I think about all the work that has gone on back at our factories, it's tough to have a costly hiccup. However we have achieved an incredible amount to get here, to be at the front and to be so competitive; we will bounce back and learn from this. There is a very long way to go this season. What Nico had to say about his race. Hi alle, das war ein unglaublicher Tag für uns. Die Saison mit einem Sieg zu beginnen, ist sagenhaft. Deshalb möchte ich jedem, der an der Entwicklung unseres Autos im Winter beteiligt war, ein großes Dankeschön aussprechen. Ich habe schon immer davon geträumt, so einen starken Silberpfeil zu haben und nun scheint es der Fall zu sein. Das Rennen verlief für mich perfekt. Mein Start war großartig und ich konnte bis zum Ende pushen, weil wir unseren Benzinverbrauch gut unter Kontrolle hatten. Trotz unseres heutigen Erfolges wissen wir, dass es noch viel zu tun gibt. Wir haben im Laufe dieses Wochenendes gesehen, dass die Zuverlässigkeit noch immer ein Thema ist. Sie hat heute leider ein starkes Ergebnis mit beiden Autos verhindert. Jetzt bleiben uns zwei Wochen, um uns auf diesem Gebiet zu verbessern. Ich freue mich sehr auf Malaysia und würde am liebsten schon morgen dort ein Rennen fahren! Nico Translated. Hi all, this was an amazing day for us. To start the season, with a victory, it is terrific. Therefore I would like anyone who was involved in the development of our car in the winter, a big thank you from. I have always dreamed to have such a strong silver arrow and now seems to be the case. The race went perfect for me. My start was great and I could push to the end, because we had our fuel consumption under control. In spite of our today's success, we know that there is still much to do. During this weekend, we saw that the reliability is still an issue. Today, unfortunately, it prevented a strong result with two cars. Now, two weeks left us to improve in this area. I look forward to Malaysia and would a race favourite already tomorrow there!.

Makes a bit of a mockery of it really, Daniel Ricciardo did a good job today, brought the car home, and he is disqualified because of something completely beyond his control, my view... The team's constructor points should have been removed and the team fined, heavily, as the 'fault' within the car was not the drivers error, his disqualification was too severe. had he punted someone off or something of that nature then yeah kick him out of the result, in this case the punishment didn't fit as all he did was drive the car !!! UPDATE. Horner has said he is adamant that the fuel flow was legal and the FIA's equipment could not be trusted...

Welcome to the Forum . As Gareth said you have to load them into the Bluetooth system which is a time consuming pain. There is an instruction manual on here for the Bluetooth module which shows you how to programme it. I just use Siri on my iPhone to call the numbers.

Welcome to the Land of Zed... . Lovely looking car.

Backhanders in Motorsport...NEVER...

Mine was covered in yellow pollen, glad I don't suffer from hay-fever..yet..!!!

Have to admit as I got up early this morning to watch the GP, I then took the Zed for a blast around the North Circular. Then spent a few hours cleaning it in the lovely sunshine... Long may this weather last.. :sun:

Provisional results (currently). Agree.. . They still have not ruled on Ricciardo penalty..How long does it take to either "put up or shut up..!!
