The Ferrari's of Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen have been promoted to sixth and seventh on the grid for tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne after the two Toyotas were sent to the back of the grid following a rear wing infringement.

The Toyotas of Timo Glock and Jarno Trulli will start tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix from the back of the grid after stewards found their cars' rear wings were outside the rules. They had qualified sixth and eighth respectively. With Massa having posted seventh fastest time in qualifying in his Ferrari F60, sandwiched by the two Toyotas, and Rakkonen having lined up ninth, it means that the Brazilian moves up to start on the outside of row three in sixth place, while Raikkonen will be one place behind on the inside of row four.

The Stewards found that the rear wings of the Toyota TF109s showed up 'extreme flexibity' and they were moved to the back of the grid with their qualifying times cancelled. "The Stewards have received a report from the Technical Delegate that the upper rear wing elements of cars No. 9 and 10 are showing extreme flexibility in contravention of Article 3.15 of the 2009 Formula One Technical Regulations,” said the FIA in a statement today. "The Stewards have heard the explanation from a representative of Panasonic Toyota Racing and have examined the cars in question," the FIA continued. "The Stewards concur with the opinion of the Technical Delegate and find the cars contravene the requirements of Article 3.15 of the 2009 Formula One Technical Regulations. It is the Stewards decision that cars number 9 and 10 be excluded from the Qualifying Session Official Classification."

However during a weekend that has been dominated by the technical legality of the rear splitters used by the Brawn GP, Williams and Toyota teams, there has been yet more controversy in the pitlane with Williams today lodging an official protest against the Ferrari and Red Bull teams' aerodynamics although details of the complaint haven't been publicised yet.
