Barrichello still not happy with HANS - 13th March 22:12pm GMT

Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello has blamed the HANS safety device following his early exit from the Australian Grand Prix.

The Brazilian went out on lap 5, after running off the road and destroying his car.

He told British broadsheet newspaper The Guardian: "My concentration wasn't fixed on the track because the HANS device was sitting on my collarbone and hurting like hell."

HANS, the head and neck support system has been made mandatory this year by the FIA in a bid to improve safety, and although few drivers commented on it after the race, a number have been hard at work trying to adapt the device to suit their needs.

Team-mate Michael Schumacher [pictured with the HANS device] reported no problems.
