Ricciardo and Red Bull under investigation in Melbourne

Daniel Ricciardo is threatened with downgrade at the Australian Grand Prix where he finished in second place behind Nico Rosberg in his first race with Red Bull Racing. The stewards are in discussions with the engineers of the Milton Keynes team after controlling too much fuel flow on the local driver's RB10, which constitutes an infringement of Article 5.1.4 of the technical regulations which limits the consumption at 100kg per hour.

The threats of sanctions are significant since the FIA ​​has been discussing with the Austrian team for more than an hour. A downgrade of the Australian would have a serious impact in the Constructors' Championship since Sebastian Vettel scored no points with his retirement.
