Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo have both been penalised two places on the grid for the Canadian GP.
In the end they lose only one place as Kimi’s offence was deemed to have happened first, so by the time the grid is shuffled he actually gains one back from Ricciardo’s penalty and vice versa!
They were deemed to have not started from the fast lane in the pits when Q2 was resumed following the red flag for Felipe Massa’s accident. The 15 remaining cars all waited at the end of the pitlane with several drivers taking the ‘inside’ line and passing others.
Raikkonen jumped from fourth in the queue to second, and Ricciardo from sixth to fourth. No action was taken against Pastor Maldonado, Jean-Eric Vergne and Sergio Perez, none of whom gained places. In fact Pastor managed to lose one…
The grid now reads 9th HUL, 10th RAI, 11th RIC, 12th PER.
