Who?	Points	Action	Lap
Race
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing)	3 pts	Push Button on to the grass in the run into turn 1. Button was heard to complain on his team radio that Vettel should get a punishment for pushing him off. Vettel was placed under investigation but the stewards found no fault and Vettel was not punished.	1
Liuzzi, Vitantonio (Hispania Racing)	1 pts	Trying to recover from his qualifying position, Liuzzi goes wide at the Esses.	6
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	6 pts	Ran wide in the Spoon curve and then had to defend heavily against Alonso. The reason for Hamilton’s off track moment was a puncture in his right rear tyre.	8
Buemi, Sebastien (Scuderia Toro Rosso)	2 pts	Ran into the gravel at the Esses with his right front wheel off. Having pitted on that lap, Buemi’s wheel had not been correctly attached and at the first opportunity it detached itself. His team were fined 5,000 euros for not fitting the tyre correctly.	12
Scuderia Toro Rosso	6 pts	Fined 5,000 euros for not fitting the wheel to Buemi’s car correctly during his stop.	12
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	7 pts	Coming into the final chicane of the lap, Hamilton moved over on the speeding Massa. Coming out of the Spoon curve, Massa moved up the outside of Hamilton for the next corner. Hamilton, not seeing Massa, moved over and the two collided. The damage was light but a part of Massa’s front wing was removed and his floor was damaged. The loose parts were in the middle of the track and the safety car was brought out to clear up the mess.	21
Webber, Mark (Red Bull Racing)	6 pts	Made contact with Schumacher loosing part of his front wing. Together with the incident of Hamilton and Massa, this incident led to the Safety Car being deployed.	21
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing)	4 pts	Got annoyed at d’Ambrosio and waved his hand at him.	45
Button, Jenson (McLaren)	8 pts	Stopped on the track after crossing the line. Most likely Button was saving the dregs of fuel in his tanks for the FIA.	53
Qualifying
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	1 pts	Ran wide at the Spoon curve.
Rosberg, Nico (Mercedes Grand Prix)	11 pts	Had hydraulic issues in Qualifying the prevented him from setting a time. In the end Rosberg did not set a time and failed to make 107% of the leaders time. The stewards, however, allowed him to race.
Liuzzi, Vitantonio (Hispania Racing)	10 pts	More mechanical problems stopped Liuzzi taking part in qualifying In the end Liuzzi did not set a time and failed to make 107% of the leaders time. The stewards, however, allowed him to race. This decision was unusual, because no where in the weekend so far had Liuzzi set a time within 107% of the leaders time.
Hamilton, Lewis (McLaren)	3 pts	Before beginning his last flying lap of Qualifying, Hamilton lifted off much to the surprise of the drivers behind. Both Webber and Schumacher were caught out by the move which was no doubt designed to create clean air for Hamilton on his final run. Schumacher had to take the grass to avoid a collision and he later called the action “stupid”.
Practice
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams)	1 pts	Ran wide coming out of the Esses.
Glock, Timo (Virgin Racing)	4 pts	Suffered from a gearbox leak in FP1 and had to sit out the remainder of the session.
Perez, Sergio (Sauber)	1 pts	Locked up and ran wide coming through the Casino Triangle.
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing)	2 pts	Ran wide through Degner 1 and ended up off the track and, slowly, into the barriers in Degner 2.
Liuzzi, Vitantonio (Hispania Racing)	5 pts	Stopped on track with issues relating to water pressure.
Senna, Ayrton (Renault)	1 pts	Span his Renault into the gravel in turn 2 after carrying too much speed through the first corner.
Barrichello, Rubens (Williams)	4 pts	Touched the grass with his wheels in Denger 1 and span off the track. Rubens ended up in the tyre wall and damaged most corners of his car.
Maldonado, Pastor (Williams)	5 pts	Stopped with engine issues in Degner 1.
Trulli, Jarno (Team Lotus)	4 pts	Pull out from FP2 with electrical issues. Because Trulli was coasting on the track, the white flags were out to warn the other drivers.
Schumacher, Michael (Mercedes Grand Prix)	1 pts	Went wide after complaining about his rear end.
Senna, Ayrton (Renault)	10 pts	Ran wide and the Spoon curve and stuffed it into the wall. Senna, shaken, stepped out of the car without any issues. The session was red flagged.
