Schumacher was now a passenger as he slid across the track and into the tyre wall. The safety car was brought out to clean up the mess.	29
Vettel, Sebastian (Red Bull Racing)	4 pts	Was seen to be waving at the safety car for going to slowly. However, what Vettel did not know was that the safety car was holding up the field so the doctor’s car could needlessly attend the Schumacher’s crash.	32

Massa, Felipe (Ferrari)	10 pts	Massa, displeased with Hamilton’s on track performance talked to Hamiton and the press. In the period following the race Massa approached Hamilton whilst he was being interviewed and patted him hard on the shoulder and said “Good job pal, very good!” Later Massa commented to BBC Sport: “Again, he cannot use his mind, Even in qualifying, so can you imagine in the race? He could have caused a big accident and he’s paying for that. I was in the middle (of the track) and then got a puncture, which cost me a lot. “When the Safety Car came in I had the wrong tyres. The FIA must look at this and penalise him all the time. He can’t even listen to his father, so can you imagine he listens to me?”	61
Renault	2 pts	Renault were fined for misinforming Senna about his position relative to the other drivers on the track. Senna was informed by his team that Perez, the car in front of him, was on the same lap. Perez, however, was a lap in front. Senna tried to overtake and had contact with Perez.	61

Massa, Felipe (Ferrari)	5 pts	Not content with another round of Hamilton’s antics, Massa updated the press on his opinion. Massa was quoted as saying “The incident with Hamilton?
