  • Singapore 2009: The Grid

    Following qualifying for tomorrow’s Singapore Grand Prix held at night time under the artificially-lit street circuit, we can now see the grid in its entirety, including any penalties received. So far, only one driver has been demoted from their original qualifying position, Rubens Barrichello having to take an unscheduled gearbox replacement after the Brazilian almost stalled on the grid in Belgium a few weeks back. Although the gearbox survived Monza, the team have opted to replace it now in Singapore and build the 5-grid slot penalty into their strategy.
