The Stewards of the Australian Grand Prix have disqualified Hamilton and McLaren from any points from the race because: “They lied about whether Hamilton was told over the radio that he should let Trulli pass him”.

So a ‘good news story’ no longer exists and I will now relapse into the cynicism I have about F1 based upon really serious abuses that have gone unpunished.

Although a great driver, Michael Schumacher, deliberately took Damon Hill out of the last race of the season at the Australian Grand Prix to prevent him winning the Driver’s Championship. Of course it went unpunished.

I suspect that the “Rules” are a farce rather like those in All-in-Wrestling. The only rule that seems to apply is that Ferrari is above the rules.
