5-second penalties handed to nine drivers
27 June 2010

The nine drivers under investigation in Valencia have been handed 5-second time penalties for driving too quickly under Safety Car conditions in the European Grand Prix. This affects six of the ten points scorers, including World Champion Jenson Button who finished third.

Since last year, a timer is displayed on the steering wheel deltas of all competitors at the moment the Safety Car in deployed, meaning no driver can cross the finish line before the timer – which varies in time remaining depending on the part of circuit which the car is at – reaches zero seconds.

The rule avoids drivers – as seen in the past – circulating quickly in order to make up time during Safety Car periods.

The following drivers (with original race finishing positions shown) receive 5-second penalties:

Jenson Button (3rd), Rubens Barrichello (4th), Robert Kubica (5th), Adrian Sutil (6th), Sébastien Buemi (8th), Pedro de la Rosa (10th), Vitaly Petrov (11th), Vitantonio Liuzzi (13th) and Nico Hülkenberg (DNF).
