Trulli's third place under investigation

By on

The third position in today's Australian Grand Prix of Jarno Trulli is under investigation. Both Trulli and Lewis Hamilton, who finished fourth, were summoned to see the race stewards following an incident in the final safety car period.

Martin Whitmarsh declared to the 'BBC' that Jarno Trulli would have re-passed Hamilton under safety car conditions, having lost control and run off the circuit.

"At the end, under the safety car, Trulli fell off onto the grass and Lewis had no choice but to go past him, he was not on the racing circuit. Trulli then re-took the place under the safety car, which ordinarily you wouldn't do so I know that the FIA are looking at it at the moment and doubtless we'll have a ruling in due course.
