McLaren's Penalised

Both McLaren's were docked five spots for impeding Alonso and Heidfeld. It's hardly surprising that some action was taken. I'm a bit surprised that any penalty was given for blocking Heidfeld given that according to the commentary he posted his best first sector. That been said, up to then Heidfeld's pace had been poor so even when blocked it would've cost them. Personally I don't think they purposely tried to hold the pair up. It just happened.

As I said I'm not surprised. Brundle commented that people were likely to get hauled up for going at a snails pace back to the pits. The FIA now have to get their fingers out and put and end to this before Bahrain.

Now I await the FIA punishing McLaren only conspiracy theories.
