After the completion of the 2009 Australian Grand Prix Trulli's third place
was put under investigation. It had become apparent that Trulli had gained
third position by overtaking Hamilton during a safety car period. This was
after Hamilton had run off the track when the Safety Car was on track.
Both drivers were summoned to see the race stewards following the incident
and it was decided to give Trulli a 25-second penalty which moves him
outside of the points finish.
As a results Hamilton was promoted to third place after Jarno Trulli was
penalised. Toyota has confirmed its intention to appeal the decision.
