Fisichella relegated to 13th on grid

By on

Giancarlo Fisichella has been judged to have held up Sakon Yamamoto in yesterday's first part of qualifying. As a result, the Italian will lose 5 places on the grid and therefore drop from 8th to 13th. On a twisty circuit like the Hungaroring, this may as well immediately ruin his chances to get any points from the race.

After Alonso also punished with 5 places on the grid after misjudged pitstop strategy during qualifying, the grid for the Hungarian GP looks as follows:
