I think the disqualification of the Williams will bring up a lot of stink.

Schumie is a heck of a driver, but a technicality like that preventing one's access to the podium is... strange.

Before and after, as far as I know.


Ralf Schumacher among four disqualified after Canada



Montreal, Canada (Sports Network) - Following post-race inspections for Sunday's Formula One Canadian Grand Prix, four cars had their final results nullified, including runner-up Ralf Schumacher.

Both the Williams/BMW team and the Toyota team were found to have brake air ducts which did not comply with Formula One's technical regulations.



"What has happened is a pity because it has spoiled what was a good race," said Schumacher. "But breaking a rule is breaking a rule and somebody must be punished for that. I have to accept it, even if it really hurts."



"The front brake ducts of Ralf and Juan Pablo's car are not in accordance with the regulations," said Williams Technical director Sam Michael.



"It was a mistake and it was unintentional. There was no performance gain and no gain for brake cooling because the inlet area was not bigger. However, the duct is not in compliance with the technical regulation and we accept the FIA decision."



Also losing championship points were fifth-place Juan Montoya and eighth place Cristiano da Matta. The final driver disqualified was Toyota's Olivier Panis, who finished 10th.
