Following an investigation into the incident involving Jacques Villeneuve and Juan Pablo Montoya at the end of the first lap of today's Japanese Grand Prix, the Canadian was handed a 25-second penalty, which drops him from 11th to twelfth.

An FIA statement read:

"After the race the stewards viewed the video of the incident and presented the same to Juan Pablo Montoya and his team manager Dave Ryan and independently to Jacques Villeneuve and his team manager Beat Zehnder.

"Having heard both parties the stewards independently conclude that Jacques Villeneuve was involved in an incident 'forcing the driver of Car number 10 off track' and therefore impose a 25-second time penalty to the elapsed race time of Jacques Villeneuve."
