Honda's Rubens Barrichello has been disqualified from today's Australian Grand Prix.

The Brazilian was adjudged to have jumped the red light at the end of the pitlane during a safety car period, thereby breaching of Article 39.2 of the 2008 FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Previously, the Honda driver had to serve a ten-second stop-and-go penalty for refuelling outside the permitted window.

Barrichello's disqualification means that Kazuki Nakajima is promoted to sixth, Sebastien Bourdais to seventh, and Kimi Raikkonen gets the remaining point for finishing eighth, albeit having stopped five laps before the end of the race.
