    Penalties for Ferrari and Grosjean...

    Fine for Ferrari after DRS issue
    Sunday 28th July 2013 RSS

    Ferrari have been fined after the DRS on Fernando Alonso's car was activated illegally during the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    The Spaniard finished fifth at Budapest, but stewards released a report after the race stating that his DRS was activated on three occasions outside the designated one second window.

    A statement from technical delegate Jo Bauer read: "After the race DRS activation data from car #3 was analysed. It was found that the driver has activated the adjustable bodywork in three occasions when he was more than one second behind another car.

    "As this is not in conformity with article 27.5b of the 2013 Formula 1 sporting regulations I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration."

    However, a setting error by the team was to blame and the Italian outfit were hit with a €15,000 fine.

    "The DRS enabling system was not changed by the team from the pre-race to the race setting," a statement from the stewards said.

    "The driver therefore incorrectly received 'DRS enabled' messages and reacted to them (when not entitled to) on three occasions.

    "As soon as the team became aware of the problem they informed the driver to only use DRS when told to do so by the team.

    "Whilst a small sporting advantage (less than one second over the entire race) was gained, the team argued #3 also suffered a disadvantage by being unable to use DRS on every legitimate occasion.

    "However, the team is ultimately responsible for ensuring the system conforms to the regulations."

    Meanwhile, Lotus driver Romain Grosjean, who finished P6, was handed a 20s retrospective penalty.

    The Frenchman was punished for making contact with Jenson Button while trying to overtake the McLaren driver on lap 24.

    Red Bull considering Fernando Alonso for 2014 Formula 1 seat



    Red Bull is considering Fernando Alonso as a potential team-mate to Sebastian Vettel for 2014.

    It has emerged that secret talks took place between the Spaniard's management and Formula 1's champion team at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

    High level sources claim that the notion Red Bull should consider Alonso as an option for 2014 emerged in a conversation that took place between the Ferrari driver's agent Luis Garcia Abad and team boss Christian Horner at the Hungaroring on Friday.

    Both Ferrari and Abad insist, however, that the talks he had with Horner were only related to a potential future for Carlos Sainz Jr, who he also represents.

    While the specifics of the conversation between Abad and Horner remain disputed, Horner admitted in Hungary that the Spanish driver was now a candidate.

    When asked if he could deny the Alonso talks, or rule out the Spaniard for a 2014 seat, he said: "Any conversations between any of the drivers and any of the parties will always remain confidential.

    "But of course there have been quite a few drivers who have expressed an interest in the seat, as you can imagine."

    This is remote. It will be a total total disaster if they pick the spoiled brat spaniard as SV's teammate. The Spaniard will only be happy if SV is demoted as the second driver, imagine that.

    Many thought Merc would fade over the course of the season. It looks like they will be serious contenders from here on.

    Seb just said on BBC's post race interview that he prefers Kimi over Alonso as his teammate.

    Merc's are good on narrow and street like circuits. I hope they can repeat their performance at Spa.
