I thought Alonso slowed down? I think that is what he intimated during his interview.

Five drivers have been been moved down the grid for the Japanese Grand Prix.
They are Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Adrian Sutil, Sebastien Buemi and Fernando Alonso.

New order then

1 Vettel
2 Trulli
3 Hamilton
4 Heidfeld
5 Raikkonen
6 Kovalainen
7 Rosberg
8 Kubica
9 Sutil
10 Barrichello
11 Glock
12 Button
13 Alguersuari
14 Fisichella
15 Buemi
16 Nakajima
17 Alonso
18 Grosjean
19 Liuzzi
20 Webber

So now they are outside top 10 can they change fuel loads?

No way that this could be Hitler & the Dwarf trying to stretch out or fix the WDC & WCC is there?

NO

It's a big safety issue and a fair punishment.

 

[dannyjo22]

Where's the penalties for the Brawns?
Nowhere... oh shock horror.....

Come again

 

[Flibster]

NO

It's a lenient punishment. Should have had their times removed.

I don't think they can because they broke the rules and got sent back.
So its going to be a crap race for the Brawn team.

DAMN!!!

They used to remove the fastest lap of the driver but with 3 different Q sessions it's harder to do because the infringement was in Q2.

I think the 5 place drop then is fair enough.

My god the brawns are slow. Considering the fuel levels now infront of them neither driver is likely to score more than a point or two. They need a safety car and a few retirements

 

[utajoker]

Not good for brawn but deserved penalties, is vettel still in with a chance of wdc? It has worked out nice for him if so.

 

[sunama]

It looks like Vettel is favourite to win. When he has to make his way through traffic, he isn't that great, but when on pole, he is fantastic.

I only hope that Hamilton can get past Trulli before the first corner, otherwise, he will be stuck behind him.

Trulli shows great speed in qualifying. He shows great skill by keeping much faster cars behind him. However, he shows serious lack of speed during the race, right from the start. I guess we have to mark his lack of race pace down as a mystery, alongside the Bermuda Triangle and other unexplainable events.

Wow not seen 5 penalties before. Looks like it is Vettels race to lose.
