*25-second penalty for unsafe release from pit stop.
Is there any further news from the race officials or stewards regarding the investigations on several driver they said they would do after the race?
Kovalainen has a 25-second penalty for nearly setting Kimi on fire, so moves down from 9th to 12th. McLaren have also been fined $50,000 for the unsafe release of Kovalainen.
And the stewards deemed the Trulli-Sutil collision a racing incident (got to feel sorry for Fernando over that one), but fined Trulli $10,000 anyway for getting in Adrian’s face after the collision. Bit harsh if you ask me.
well done for Buemi! everyone’s forgotten how strong his race was. 7th place is not bad.
Yes, the Swiss rokie is proving his credentials.
