Punishment for five at Suzuka including our Ade.

Big in Japan

News filtering through from Suzuka suggests that five drivers have been penalised for not stepping off the go pedal enough while under yellow flags at the end of the second qualifying session.

Barrichello, Button, Alonso, Buemi and Sutil were all given five place penalties, pushing Adrian down to 8th place on the grid.

The reshuffled grid looks something like this:

1. Vettel Red Bull-Renault
2. Trulli Toyota
3. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
4. Heidfeld BMW-Sauber
5. Raikkonen Ferrari
6. Rosberg Williams-Toyota
7. Kubica BMW-Sauber
8. Sutil Force India-Mercedes
9. Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes
10. Alguersuari Toro Rosso-Ferrari
11. Button Brawn-Mercedes
12. Fisichella Ferrari
13. Kovalainen McLaren-Mercedes
14. Buemi Toro Rosso-Ferrari
15. Nakajima Williams-Toyota
16. Grosjean Renault
17. Alonso Renault
18. Liuzzi Force India-Mercedes
19. Glock Toyota
20. Webber Red Bull-Renault

Still starting in a points paying position should see the team end the day with something to smile about and given Adrian's knowledge of the circuit I think we can count on more than just the solitary point.

i really hope so...this is new circuit for some chaps in the gird and as Alex yung said in the commentary today, that drivers are rewarded here for driving at limit, but in doing so many have hit the barriers...
This is were I believe Sutil's track experience might pay rich dividends...

I'd say. With the correct strategy I think we can get 4th and potentially a podium. The Vettels Red Bull will break, Hamilton will stuff it and we'll get past everyone else with the imense speed on the run down to 130R

Darwin was right!

Doh! What a mistake to make!

If however that imbecile Heikki had seen where Adrian was on track he should have taken to the grass, instead he causes us to spin and loose places and the stewards say nothing.

yeah, even Martin Brundle and DC on mentioned BBC5 S being HK's mistake to open the door to Sutil and then trying to close it by shoving the car around...Damn HK and I pray for better stewards

Re: Punishment for five at Suzuka including our Ade.
This was a 'what-if' race
what if there was no penalty for Sutil, what if Sutil didn't go wide at some corner... he would have stayed in front of Rosberg and could have gotten points perhaps.

Well I hope will have more luck at Abu-Dhabi and Brasil.
