Motorsport: Investigation clears Melbourne organisers

A Formula One investigation into the death of a volunteer race marshal at this year's Melbourne Grand Prix is understood to have cleared race organisers of blame over the fatality.

A confidential report by the Geneva-based International Automobile Federation found that the marshal, Graham Beveridge, was not at his correct position when the accident occurred.

Beveridge died when he was struck by a wheel, which had flown off a car involved in a collision between Canadian Jacques Villeneuve and German driver Ralf Schumacher.
