Ferrari punished for practice incident!

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen escapes a grid penalty following an incident towards the end of FP2.

The Finn's front-right tyre was loose following a practice pit-stop where he was changed to soft tyres. Ferrari's mechanics waved their arms to attempt to stop Raikkonen, but Kimi entered the track only to pull over moments later.

The FIA said they would be investigating the incident following the session and released the following statement, where they confirmed Ferrari had been fined:

“Consistent with previous instances where a car was stopped on track, the Stewards decide that the mandatory grid place penalty could not be applied where the team took all appropriate actions, the stewards fined the team €5,000.”
