Nine drivers given five-second penalties
The FIA has handed five-second penalties to nine Formula 1 drivers for a safety car rules breach during the European Grand Prix
Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Nico Hulkenberg, Robert Kubica, Vitaly Petrov, Adrian Sutil, Sebastien Buemi, Pedro de la Rosa and Vitantonio Liuzzi have been penalised for "failing to stay above the minimum time set by the FIA ECU when the Safety Car was deployed."
The penalties mean Fernando Alonso is elevated from ninth to eighth, as he overtakes Buemi, and Nico Rosberg gets the final point from de la Rosa, 10th in the race.
The rest of the point-scoring positions remain unchanged.
The stewards also announced a 20-second penalty for Virgin's Timo Glock for ignoring blue flags.
