Who?	Points	Action	Lap
Race
Senna, Bruno (Renault)	12 pts	In an over excited move up the inside into the first chicane, Senna had a moment. The moment eventually involved Alguersuari which became a sandwich between Senna and Alonso. Alguersuari, who was in an unusually high qualifying position was bumped from Senna to the side of Alonso which shattered the suspension of his Toro Rosso. The resulting in the Spaniard retiring from the race and Senna received a drive through penalty which was handed out on lap 6.	1
Glock, Timo (Virgin Racing)	13 pts	Charging from the back Glock entered the first chicane at a too high speed for the other cars. Glock subsequently collided with side of di Resta which squeezed the duo of Team Lotus into a spin. Glock also then, not content with that, clocked the right rear of Buttonâ€™s Mclaren damaging the end plate of the rear wing. Kovalainen damaged his nose on Trulli and Trulli the floor of his Lotus. di Resta also had a damaged floor and Glock received a drive through penalty.	1
Kobayashi, Kamui (Sauber)	2 pts	Collided with Perez on at the first chicane damaging his nose. The Japanese driver did not care much for his front wing and ran with the front-wing end-plate broken for several laps before pitting on lap 15.	1
Perez, Sergio (Sauber)	8 pts	Collided with Beumi damaging the rear win of Buemi and the front wing of Perez. Perez received a drive through penalty for the collision and this was take around lap 22. Buemi was force to retire from the race with the damaged caused to his car.	6
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	5 pts	Approaching Les Combes, Hamilton passed Kobayashi but cut in too early resulting in a high speed collision. The pair collided spinning Hamilton around and into the wall nose first. The car then careered onwards and into a tyre wall. Hamilton did not seem to move directly after the incident having been winded. The on board pictures shows a cautious marshal poke Hamilton in the helmet to see if he would move (or his head would fall off). Eventually Hamilton climbed free from his Mclaren and, unusually, accepted blame for the incident. Kobayashi was left with no where to go but to the grass. The Japanese driver held his ground and Hamilton paid the price for not giving other drivers enough room.	13
Ricciardo, Daniel (Hispania Racing)	5 pts	Retired from the race with vibration issues.	13
Perez, Sergio (Sauber)	5 pts	Retired with suspension problems.	27
Massa, Felipe (Ferrari)	5 pts	Massa suffered from a puncture in a fresh set of tyres.	32
Barrichello, Rubens (Williams)	2 pts	Collided with Perez at the final chicane and dived directly to the pits for a new nose.	42
Petrov, Vitaly (Renault)	8 pts	Ran low on fuel and had to park it just across the start/finish line.	44
Qualifying
Schumacher, Michael (Mercedes Grand Prix)	15 pts	On his outlap from the pits, the 7-times world champion’s wheel detached itself from the car. The result was that the Mercedes span around colliding with the wall and continued to travel down the track finally coming to rest in the tyre wall. It was a spectacular and unusual accident which ruined the qualifying for Schumacher’s 20th anniversary race.
Kovalainen, Heikki (Team Lotus)	1 pts	Went off the track at turn 12.
di Resta, Paul (Force India)	1 pts	Span at the final chicane whilst struggling to get through to Q2.
Sutil, Adrian (Force India)	10 pts	Going up Eau Rouge, Sutil lost the back end of his car. He slid to the inside of the track and collided with the wall which then spat him back across the track. He came to rest on the outside of the Raidillon corner which meant that Q2 had to be red flagged.
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams)	1 pts	Went off at the final chicane.
Alonso, Fernando (Ferrari)	5 pts	After the restart of Q2, Alonso was deep in the traffic so he had a good old complain about it to his team over the radio. It was apparently “impossible” with all the traffic.
Barrichello, Rubens (Williams)	1 pts	Ran wide at Blanchimont.
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	3 pts	Barged past Maldonado in the final chicane. In a desperate attempt to get one more lap in, Hamilton used less than friendly techniques to pass the Williams driver. Maldonado received a shove out of the way which looked set to enrage the twice victim of Hamilton’s loutish overtakes. Hamilton received a warning for his driving behavior from the stewards
Button, Jenson (McLaren)	1 pts	In a “miscommunication” where Mclaren mistakenly told Button he did not have chance to complete another lap, Button failed to make it to Q1.
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams)	12 pts	Let Hamilton know exactly how he felt about Monaco and the shove in qualifying. In joining the hot heads of F1, Maldonado had seemed to have enough. After the flag had fallen on Q2, Maldonado caught up with Hamilton and cut sharply in front of the British driver ensuring there was less than enough room for the maneuver. The resulting collision damaged both cars and put Hamilton’s participation in Q3 in doubt. Hamilton was quick to assign blame to Maldonado in radioing to his team that it was deliberate. Maldonado stated that he “did not know what happened” even sometime later. Whether this was Williams PR or just plain denial it is unclear. What was clear to the stewards was that Maldonado deserved a 5 place grid penalty. This relegated him to 21st on the grid.
Ricciardo, Daniel (Hispania Racing)	5 pts	Ricciardo failed to make the 107% rule but was allowed to race.
Liuzzi, Vitantonio (Hispania Racing)	5 pts	Liuzzi failed to make the 107% rule but was allowed to race.
d’Ambrosio, Jerome (Virgin Racing)	5 pts	d’Ambrosio failed to make the 107% rule but was allowed to race.
