I feel terrible for Aussie’s Daniel Ricciardo. He learned he and Red Bull racing was disqualified from the 2014 Australian Grand Prix just hours after he was celebrating on the podium finishing 2nd place. The FiA states:
During the race car number 03 has exceeded consistently the maximum allowed fuel flow of 100 kg/h.
As this is not in compliance with Article 5.1.4 of the 2014 Formula One Technical Regulations, I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration.

Makes me wonder if FiA is done looking the other way with Vettel’s secret traction control. hmmm…
On to another note… Unnecessary crashes from 2014 United SportsCar Championship of Sebring.
Gaston Kearby spun his car and whipped it back around…right on the racing line. Alex Tagliani slammed into him. Doing donuts on a race track during a race is NOT safe.
Matteo Malucelli loses his car and crashes in the first turn. luckily not as big as in Daytona. However, he rejoins the track right infront of the traffic.
