F1 team Sauber accepts drivers' DQs in Australia

HINWIL, Switzerland (AP) Formula One team Sauber won't appeal the disqualification of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi from the Australian Grand Prix after accepting that their cars broke technical rules.

Mexico's Perez finished seventh on his F1 debut and Japan's Kobayashi placed eighth but both lost their race points on Sunday.

Race stewards found the shape and size of the Sauber rear wings were a few millimeters bigger than allowed.

Sauber's technical director, James Key, says the team accepts it made an "error in the checking process" and has put measures in place to ensure the mistake won't be repeated.
