    I assume they won't still run using their own rules like they did in Aus, but.....


    Red Bull's appeal over the disqualification of Daniel Ricciardo from the Australian Grand Prix will be heard in Paris on April 14, meaning two races will pass before the issue is resolved.

    Ricciardo crossed the line in second place at Albert Park but lost the position that evening, after it emerged Red Bull had ignored an FIA warning over the use of its own fuel-flow sensor equipment. The team officially lodged its appeal on Thursday morning just before the deadline.

    At the core of Red Bull's protest is the belief the FIA's fuel-flow sensor equipment is unreliable. Its position had appeared to have been weakened last week as rivals Mercedes and Ferrari spoke out in favour of the FIA, while McLaren's Eric Boullier also said all teams but Red Bull followed the FIA's regulations despite sharing similar concerns.

    Under FIA rules, teams cannot replace approved FIA equipment, but Red Bull still chose to on Ricciardo's car. All 21 other cars, including that of team-mate Sebastian Vettel, worked within the system.

    The hearing will take place on the Monday before the Chinese Grand Prix, the fourth race of the season.

    I wonder if they did this for Ricciardo to give him an advantage to ensure he placed WELL or even won the Aus GP in front of his "home" crowd.

    They did it, took a chance on it and if they got caught then appeal it and wear the consequence.

    I mean, WHY didn't they do the same to Vettel's car as they would share the same fuel-flow sensors I would think.

    Makes ya wonder........

    I think either they or the FIA have said they didn't. That's not to say they wouldn't have, if Vettel's sensor had started giving readings they deemed incorrect. I suspect they were more willing to test the regulatory waters with the other car, though :(

    Yep.

    Would have made Daniel look like a hero if they got away with it.

    If they did it to Vettel's car and got caught out like they did..............imagine the uproar from everyone thinking that he has been 'cheating' the entire time.

    Just my thoughts on this of course.

    What he said ^^^

    Ron Walker is to step down from his position as chairman of the Australian Grand Prix after 22 years, as part of an overhaul of the event.

    Walker will retire from his role when his contract expires after next year's race, which will be the 20th since the Australian Grand Prix switched from Adelaide to Melbourne's Albert Park. Walker has already made waves this season as one of the most vocal critics of the sound of the new engines, but his retirement is down to his age and not concerns over the future of the sport.

    "I'll retire next year, after 20 years [of the Melbourne race],'' he said. "I'm 75 this year and it's good governance to let someone fresh take the reins."

    Walker played a pivotal role in bringing the grand prix to Victoria in 1996, and is also chairman for Moto GP at Phillip Island. His deputy, Cricket World Cup chief John Harnden, has already been hand-picked as a replacement by Walker.
