Suzuka Circuit -JAPANESE Grand Prix 2009 - Race 15/17

Drivers' placid temperaments never cease to amaze me; with all the scrums on the grid you'd have thought someone sometime would have exploded with obscenity-laden rage/frustration.

lol - "ranking" from Heidfeld. See, I'm not the only one sniggering at innuendo :D
 
mornin all.

looking forward to watching the race again at midday and saying 'i cant remember any of this happening'. ;)

Im proper confused about the grid now... Have some of the penalties been taken back?

No, its down to the order the penalties have been applied. Rubens committed his offence before Jenson or Sutil so he got bumped back up the order as other penalities were applied.
