Daniel Ricciardo’s disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix will stand after his Formula One team Red Bull lost its appeal.

Rising Australian driver Ricciardo crossed the line second at his home grand prix on March 16 only to be stripped of his place after the team was found guilty of breaching fuel flow regulations.

Red Bull appealed the ruling in a hearing in Paris on Monday, but the ruling motorsport body FIA stood firm on its decision.

“The (International Court of Appeal), after having heard the parties and examined their submissions, decided to uphold the decision,” the FIA said in a statement on Tuesday.
