Sauber intend to appeal against Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi's disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix.
Rookie Perez and Kobayashi started the 2011 season brilliantly as they finished seventh and eighth respectively. However, both were excluded from the results post-race after stewards found their C30s infringed technical rules relating to the size of the uppermost rear wing element.
Technical director James Key says they will investigate the matter first internally but are planning to appeal against the ruling.
"This is a very surprising and disappointing result," said Key.
"It appears that there is a question over the top surface of the uppermost rear wing element, this area is not the working surface of the component and therefore relatively unimportant to its function.
"Certainly this has not led to any performance advantage. We are checking the design of the parts now to better understand the situation and we intend to appeal the decision made by the stewards."
