A wheel has yet to turn in anger in the new season, yet Ferrari, Renault and Red Bull all lodged separate protests against their rivals.

They believe Toyota, Williams and Brawn GP failed to interpret correctly the new ruling relating to the rear diffuser, a key aerodynamic component that governs the airflow beneath a car.

BMW Sauber also protested but that was thrown out by the race stewards governing this weekend's Australian Grand Prix on a technicality.

The stewards - Radovan Novak, Olafur Gudmundsson and Steve Chopping - after giving the cars the green light earlier in the day, are almost certain to throw out the protest.

However, such is the nature of F1, that will then lead to an appeal that will be heard after next weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix.

It means if the three accused score points in either Sunday's race at Melbourne's Albert Park or in Kuala Lumpur, and that is almost certain given their pace, the result of those two grands prix would be under appeal.
