Although Anthony Davidson managed to finish the Australian GP in 16th place, it has transpired that the crash he had with Sutil’s Spyker, after a poor getaway from the grid, has left him in “considerable pain”.

Spyker lodged an official complaint about the cars of the Super Aguri Team, after they jumped from back markers last season, to solid midfielders in Australia earlier today. However the Stewards at Albert Park dismissed the protest saying it was a commercial issue, not the responsibilty of the FIA.
