Coulthard hit with grid penalty

25 May 2008

David Coulthard has been hit with a five-place grid penalty after his smashed up Red Bull needed a new gearbox as a result of his crash in the closing stages of Q2 yesterday. Coulthard has been passed fit to race by the FIA medics, but will now start the race from fifteenth on the grid, instead of tenth.

Sebastian Vettel and Giancarlo Fisichella have also been given five-place grid penalty for gearbox changes and consequently start 19th and 20th respectively.
