The second place in Australian GP could be disqualified because the team exeeded the max allowed fuel flow or some bullshit like that...

"Spoiler" beyond this point...

Sad, sad news

I thought the Red Bull was faster than it should've been based on all the news. No wonder Ricciardo was able to hold back Magnussen so well.

So this means Magnussen finished second in his F1 debut?

Lame 'formula' for these cars. Just flat lame. Fuel consumption rules?

And why can't F1 refuel? Safety? C'mon...it's not that difficult...

F1 is not racing, it's just a show manufactured for the audience

You were pushing your car harder than your competitors, shame on you.

A few news outlets are reporting it as done. #3 out. Anyone read the same? It's not in F1's page yet.

jesus RBR, how hard is it to install something SOMEWHERE along the path between the fuel tank and the injectors that allows exactly 100kg/hr?

I'll have to go read the regs. Maybe they allow higher fuel consumption rate in practice/quali that would make a flow restrictor installed in the pickup tube a bad idea. Still, RBR knows the rules and have 100 people monitoring everything that the car is doing. I'm bummed for Ricciardo but not for RBR.

It's called business as usual at Formula 1.

Heck, I'm pretty sure Alain Prost is giving this move a thumbs up.

Yes, just like the original fuel consumption era of F1 was lame.

Nothing that the rules haven't been doing since the very genesis of F1.

And I dont care for Redbull but think for Ricciardo, he doesn't deserve this, not on his first pole+ home race

I hate it, I feel very bad for Ricciardo.

Still, they used the same amount of fuel, so i dont see what is illegal about it, but the way i saw the race, magnussen was saving fuel, by not attacking Ricciardo

I do also, it's awful what happened.

They apparently used more fuel/second at certain parts than they were allowed to, Magnussen should've gotten pass him when he attempted it before he started to save fuel.
