| Both Saubers were disqualified from the race eliminating a double points finish due to a technical infringement with the rear wing.
A section from the FIA Technical Report reads:
‘Except for the uppermost rear wing element of car numbers 16 and 17 (see previous technical report), all car weights and the items checked were found to be in conformity with the 2011 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.’
The Sauber team decided to appeal against the exclusion but later retracted this after realizing their mistake.
