Buemi will take a grid drop after colliding with Heidfeld in Germany
Sebastien Buemi has been ordered to take a 5-place grid penalty for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The stewards decided that he was at fault for causing a collision between the Toro Rosso and Nick Heidfeld early on in the German GP.
Approaching the Veedol chicane, Heidfeld was squeezed onto the grass by Buemi, then the Renault was launched into the gravel trap and out of the race. Buemi continued, but pitted for repairs to his rear right tyre.
Although the television images suggested Buemi squeezed Nick off the track, Sebastien claims “Heidfeld drove into me”.
This follows Buemi being disqualified from qualfying, after a fuel irregularity with his car.
In related news, the FIA has stated it will not take any action against Nick Heidfeld, who was issued a drive-through penalty (for colliding with Paul di Resta) before he crashed out.
