Another 5 spot penalty for Glock

NEWS STORY
15/03/2008

Having incurred a five-place grid penalty following a gearbox change after this morning's free practice session, Timo Glock has been handed a further five-spot penalty for "yellow flag infringements".

The German was adjudged to have impeded Mark Webber during qualifying, and having been summoned by the race stewards this afternoon, he was handed the second penalty, which means he will start from nineteenth on the grid.

The stewards also spoke with Jarno Trulli, Nico Rosberg, Giancarlo Fisichella and Jenson Button, who were all asked to explain how they had posted their best lap times during a period when yellow flags were present. All four escaped grid penalties and were instead officially reprimanded.

Finally, we hear that Adrian Sutil is to start from the pitlane after it was discovered that he damaged his Force India whilst riding the kerbs and that the chassis will need to be repaired overnight.
