Hi everyone.
Well, there I am bombing around Melbourne in 8th place with my Lotus team-mate (Trulli) in 21st. As I round the last corner, my engineer announces that I've been bumped to 9th. How?, I cry, I've not been passed by anyone!?
Checking the results I see that Trulli, who I passed earlier in the race, has been gifted 4th spot. Evidently, he was lapped by top 3 (Webber, Hamilton, Vettel) and crossed the line before real 4th placed guy (Petrov) but got classed as 4th, dropping everybody else down a place.
Has anyone else encountered this and if so, do you think it might be corrected in the upcoming patch? A pretty serious issue in terms of race result/championship standings. This was running a full race.
Can't believe how cheated I feel!
