Qualifying 1 - 10 place grid penalty for causing a collision.

Starting from the back (22nd) I decided to go steady and get as far up the field as I could. This plan didn't last long as I managed to get past 4 cars at the first chicane and another 3 on the following lap.

With a smooth pit stop and a car at that chicane most laps I made my way to 6th by the end of lap 9 of the 11 laps.

On lap 10 disaster struck as I was punted off the circuit. More misery followed as I hit a car coming back on and received a 10 second penalty for the privilege.

I crossed the line in 10th however with the penalty this translated as 17th.

My fastest lap of the race was 1.32.510.

Zero points towards the championship scored this weekend..

I was second in the championship ratings with 177 points but now 8 behind.

Williams were still 4th in the Constructors 144 points behind.
