Lotus receives support from David Hunt

Team Lotus has received a message of support from David Hunt, the man who used to own the name - just a few days after he had hit out at team principal Tony Fernandes. Ahead of the first race for the Team Lotus moniker since the 1994 Australian Grand Prix, Hunt has now said he is fully behind the outfit. "This is an emotional weekend for me," said Hunt, who has been in court this week for the Team Lotus v Group Lotus legal battle, in a statement released on Sunday

Perez didn?t plan to one-stop to seventh

Sauber rookie Sergio Perez says he did not plan to go through the Australian Grand Prix on just one tyre stop, after making an unfancied strategy pay off to score points in his maiden race. Perez said that having to preserve his front tyres through track position circumstances allowed him to finish the race on Pirelli's soft option rubber, securing himself a strong seventh place.

Sauber seeks answers on wing design

Sauber will conduct a detailed investigation at its factory into how its rear wing failed to comply with the technical regulations at the Australian Grand Prix, before it decides whether to keep pressing ahead with its appeal. The Swiss-based team has submitted its intention to appeal against the disqualifications of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi from the Melbourne event for a rear wing breach. The rear wings did not comply with Articles 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 of the F1 Technical Regulations that demands wing parts do not have 'a local concave radius of curvature smaller than 100mm.' This addition to the F1 regulations was introduced this year to prevent teams from running F-duct type systems.
