Toyotas lose qualifying times

The FIA stewards in Australia have excluded the Toyota team from the qualifying session of the event after the cars were found to have an upper rear wing element which showed "extreme flexibility" in contravention of Article 3.15 of the Technical Regulations.

The FIA stewards in Australia have excluded the Toyota team from the qualifying session of the event after the cars were found to have an upper rear wing element which showed extreme flexibility in contravention of Article 3.15 of the Technical Regulations.

This will mean that the two Toyotas will drop to the back of the grid.

There is still a protest going on in Albert Park between Williams F1 and the Ferrari and Red Bull teams. We believe this relates to the aerodynamics of the sidepods.
