Who? What Points Action Lap
Race
Massa, Felipe (Ferrari) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide at turn 4 on his way to the grid.



 
Rosberg, Nico (Mercedes Grand Prix) Off the track 1 pts Much like Massa, Rosberg ran wide at turn 4 whilst on his way to the grid.



 
Rosberg, Nico (Mercedes Grand Prix) Off the track 1 pts Cut the turn 6/7 chicane whilst defending against his teammate, Schumacher.

Rosberg was forced to yeild the place he gained to slot back into his original position.

1
Alonso, Fernando (Ferrari) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide at turn 2 and lost a position.



4
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide at turn 2 and lost the lead to Hamilton.



5
Alonso, Fernando (Ferrari) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide off the track losing a position to Massa. Massa quickly yielded back to Alonso.



7
Massa, Felipe (Ferrari) Crash due to driver error level 4 4 pts Span in turn 2 and collided with the barriers.

Unlike both Alonso and Vettel who had previously run wide on this corner, Massa tried to keep the car on the track rather than running with it. The result was a spin and an eventual collision with the wall.

Luckily for Massa he had light damage to the rear of his car and he was able to recover and carry on.

8
Webber, Mark (Red Bull Racing) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide at turn 1 whilst running on a fresh set of slick tyres.



15
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams) Pit lane speedingDrive through penalty 7 pts Caught speeding in the pitlane and received a drive through penalty.



15
Ferrari General Pit stop blunder 5 pts Massa was the recipitend of a slow stop.

Ferrari, it seems is unable to quickly change the tyres of Massa’s car. As pitstops are crucial even the smallest mistake is shown up to be a long delay. Like the previous 3 races, Massa had a slow stop due to a delayed tyre change.

15
Renault General Pit stop blunder 5 pts A slow stop meant Petrov was unable to get away in the usual amount of time.



15
Team Lotus General Pit stop blunder 5 pts Released Kovalainen in a seemingly unsafe way and brought a stewards investigation upon themselves.

The stewards, however, deemed there was nothing to punish them for.

15
Heidfeld, Nick (Renault) Off the track 1 pts Outbraked himself into turn 1 and ran wide.



19
Trulli, Jarno (Team Lotus) Radiator problem 5 pts Retired with an water leak.



20
Renault General Pit stop blunderEngine failure 15 pts Whilst pitting Heidfeld’s car, one of the rear wheels proved sticky to change.

This delay caused the fragile Renault to catch fire in the side pods where the exhausts exit the car. Heidfeld left the pits, dropping pieces of burning carbon fiber as he went. He exiting the pits and immediately pulled over and left the car in a hurry as the flames, no longer suppressed by forward motion of the car, licked around the cockpit of the Renault.

The fire quickly engulfed the side of the car and as the marshals dowsed the flames a small explosion tore the side out of the car sending debris over the track and hitting a marshal in the leg (who was OK). The explosion was most likely caused by the defragmentation of the Nitrogen cylinder which is used to provide pneumatic pressure that keeps the valves pressed open against the cam in the engine (http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/).

Normally this cylinder is stored with the driver to keep it away from the engine but no regulation exists to ensure that must be the case.

25
Perez, Sergio (Sauber) Ignoring Waved Yellow Flag Drive through penalty 8 pts During the scene that followed the Renault fire, Perez overtook Kovalainen towards the end of the yellow flag area.

Unfortunately he did this too early and overtook under yellow flags. Perez received a drive through penalty.

28
Schumacher, Michael (Mercedes Grand Prix) Spin off and recover 1 pts Coming into turn 2, Schumacher avoided a collision with another driver and forced a half spin on the inside of the corner.



28
Schumacher, Michael (Mercedes Grand Prix) Transmission failure 6 pts Retired with gearbox failure.



28
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide in turn 11.



32
Ferrari General Pit stop blunder 5 pts Once again Massa’s stop did not go well with the right rear proving difficult to change.



47
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren) Spin off and recover Drive through penalty 6 pts Span in the turn 6/7 chicane forcing him to recover in front of the pursuing pack.

Hamilton chose his moment a little carelessly. Not seeing the Force India of di Resta, Hamilton spun his car around to point in the right direction. However, in doing so, he forced di Resta to the grass to avoid a collision.

Hamilton was then placed under investigation and was given a drive through for “forcing another car from the track”. The penalty was handed out on lap 54.

50
Petrov, Vitaly (Renault) Off the track Off the track 2 pts Ran wide twice on the same lap.



51
Button, Jenson (McLaren) Off the track 1 pts As spots opf rain started to fall it got slippy on the track and button ran off losing the lead to Hamilton.



51
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing) Off the track Off the track 2 pts Ran side at turn 2 and again in turn 6.



51
d’Ambrosio, Jerome (Virgin Racing) Crash due to driver error level 7 7 pts Span in the pitlane

In a feat yet to have been seen in F1, d’Ambrosio span whilst trying to get to his pit for a new set of tyres. The 90 degree spin to the right luckily did not hit anyone but there was allot of retreating into the garage. The mechanics quickly turned him around to have his proper stop.

51
Button, Jenson (McLaren) Off the track 1 pts After clawing back the lead from Hamilton, Button ran wide and lost the lead for the second time in this race.



52
Alonso, Fernando (Ferrari) Spin off and recover 1 pts Span and recovered.

Luckily for Alonso, his 3rd place was safe as there was a large gap to 4th placed Hamilton.

59
Kovalainen, Heikki (Team Lotus) Radiator problem 5 pts Retired with a water leak.



59
di Resta, Paul (Force India) Run out of fuel 8 pts Ran out of fuel and had to park the park half way around the the warm down lap.



70
Qualifying
Webber, Mark (Red Bull Racing) KERS ProblemDRS Problem 8 pts Had both DRS and KERS issues during qualifying which meant only 6th was possible.



 
Practice
Webber, Mark (Red Bull Racing) Crash due to driver error level 5 5 pts Span in FP1 and took the nose off the car.

Coming through turn 9, Webber put too much wheel onto the slippy astroturf on tghe outside of the line. The plastic turf tends to hold water longer than other parts of the track. The result was that Webber span into the inside barrier clipping off the nose of his car.

Webber was lucky to recover back to the pits for repair.

 
Massa, Felipe (Ferrari) Spin off and recover 1 pts Had a spin at turn 12.



 
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing) Off the track 1 pts Ran wide coming out of the final corner.



 
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams) Puncture 5 pts Suffered from a slow puncture during practice.



 
Kobayashi, Kamui (Sauber) Off the track Off the track 2 pts Rand wide a turns 11 & 12



 
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing) Off the track 1 pts Cut the chicane at turns 6/7
