Jano Trulli was penalised for overtaking Hamilton after the Safety car was on track.

So Hamilton is now on podium to win 6 points behind Brawn's Rubens Barrichello who came second on the grid.

Jano Trulli is now 12th on the Grid

Great start to the season for Brawn. I am surprised to see Hamilton on the podium considering he didn't compete in the qualifying season.

Kirk Phinney.

if the Brawn team can do same in the next 3 GP's, then they may have a chance.
LH was fantastic. A 3rd place finish after starting from 18th? fantastic wont you agree?

I saw the highlights and damn them Brawn cars are fast any car that can push Jensen Button to the top of the grid has to be super-fast,Hamilton was something else though that dude was just born to drive but the million dollar question is what happened to my darling Ferrari there must be something wrong with their new car but i am pretty sure they would bounce back in the next set of races like they did last year

Hamilton excluded from Australian GP

Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton has been stripped of his third place at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix for deliberately misleading race stewards.

The governing FIA stated that Hamilton and his McLaren team had both been excluded from the classification of the race.

Toyota's Italian Jarno Trulli, who had been handed a 25-second penalty and demoted to 12th place at a post-race hearing for overtaking Hamilton during the second safety car period, was reinstated in third.

are these mumus serious at all? what shait of stewards are these?

Na waah ooh! but to be honest Lewis needs to cut down on this his high risk approaches (lying) just a little bit the FIA would do anything not to let him defend that title and he would be wise not to play into their hands by funny tactics and tricks

these stewards are jokes. . .LH would have won the title 2 seasons ago but the culprits were not docked points. The guy let it lie and still won it in a heart stopping way the following season.

These guys are not serious. Honestly.

I wouldn't blame Hamilton for his actions 'cos if you are not a team player in MotoGP, WSB, WRC, A1 GP or F1 you won't last in any of those races.

They are just like the Mafia.

My pray is just that Mclaren should not be banned 'cos if they do it will affect Hamilton & Heiki.

Ryan is the fall Guy, 'cos he told Hamilton to lie and now he's been suspend.

Brawn GP's Jensen Button is in pole for Malaysian GP tomorrow.

It was idiotic of LH to lie about something that could easily be verified. To worsen things, he actually said the truth in a TV interview a few minutes after the meeting with the stewards. The guy needs to hold himself to a higher standard.

Who will be the winner in China?

Funny Sebastien Vettel asks the heaven to do its worst but forgot to add that it should be in his favour.

Unfortunately, heaven answered his prayer by raining which he requested and he ended up loosing again today.

rain was heavy today and they had to stop on the 25/26 lap. victory to J button again. second in a row.
LH=6th.

Jeez weren't there any weather forecasts before the race? lol so Button took this one again? this Brawn Mercedes car is something special.I saw the Ferrari car in practice race and those people need to tweak some things the braking is suspect and its not handling corners well it also looks slower compared to last year heck they might have as well raced with a VW Beetle i would be shocked if they don't bounce back even though Brawn look like they mean business

even the redbull car was fantastic especially at the corners.
whats up with the maclaren mercedes cars? looks like their gear 6 no dey work?

Brawn Mercedes means business.

But what sort of rule is that? stop a race midway? what if rain started right on the first lap?

Strange rule.
But Button apparently isn't a flash in the pan as we think.
I'm, looking for my original guy,Raikonen to wi nthe title this season.

Looks like its gonna be a real topsy turvy season with lots of unusual names popping up everywhere - Brawn, Button

whatever happened to Hamilton, Alonso, Massa

Honestly F1 these days is not the sport i grew up watching and loving,these days its just so complicated with crazy rules and stuff

Those Brawn cars look like they got rocket engines in them

The rules now are nothing but a joke. Imagine scoring more points does not give you the title but winning more races will. i.e If you win say 5 GPs then you are likely to take the title even if someone else has more points than you. me think that is strange.

The BM car's diffuser as I understand is illegally creating downforce and you know what that means. A hearing on that is due in Paris this month.

Brawn is not a name of a driver. Its a car and also the name of F1 team Boss, Ross Brawn (a former techical director of Ferrari but now with his own team-Brawn Mercedes after buying the honda team).

Hamilton, Massa, Alonso are still in dream land. They still cannot understand whats going on.

Its crazy and ironically those rules may favor Hamilton because i am sure the FIA wants to avoid last year's debacle but the rule makes no sense they might as well stop using points and strictly use races won

Yeah it gives the car more thrust apparently

Jenson Button has been in formula One for about 9 years now and the last car he drove was for the Honda Team.  He almost lost his job when Honda announced that they will stop racing in formula one and MotoGP which they eventually did in formula one but not in MotoGP.

Fortunately for Button Honda Formula one was acquired by Ross Brawn.

But what sort of rule is that? stop a race midway? what if rain started right on the first lap?

If that happens they will temporarily suspend the race and continue later in the day.

I'm, looking for my original guy,Raikonen to win the title this season.

Strangely, Raikonen does not look like a guy that can win anything this season. He qualified for the Malay race in 9th position but flopped and finished @ Sepang in 14th spot. Even Massa who qualified in 16th was better; finished the race in 9th position.

that is if the weather permits. During the last race, it was abandoned or didnt you watch it?

Button waits on F1 car's legality
Jenson Button will find out if his car is legal when world motorsport's governing body, the FIA, makes a final ruling on the diffuser row on Tuesday.

The Formula 1 championship leader's Brawn Grand Prix team, Toyota and Williams use a split-level diffuser.

The FIA rejected a protest by rival teams who argue the design does not conform to the new 2009 regulations.

But the International Court of Appeal will rule on the issue and could deduct points from Brawn, Toyota and Williams.

An independent panel will hear arguments from both sides in Paris on Tuesday, with a verdict expected the following day.

The Brawn Car.
Suspicious.
That's all I have to say.

FIA ruled in their favor today. hmmm

I'm just happy Button has been winning, his career looked to be going down the drain a few months ago

You can say that again

That car has a rocket engine in it somewhere its unbelievably fast!! I have seen Benetton Ford's,William Renault's,McClaren Mercedes and Marlboro Ferrari's but this car is quiksilver

Brawn GP may be fast now but by the time the others finish their own Diffuser, it may be relegated to the back of the grid.

Even without the Diffuser Mclaren & Ferrari are not far behind. By the time they finish their diffuser don't be surprised if they put Brawn out of the competition.

Brawn only has the opportunity of 2 if not 3 more races to get more points.

Jeez i was wondering why this car was so fast and every other car just seemed slow next to it!! I should have known they had a bit of a head start anyways lets see how the other teams react
