'If It's F1, It's Vital'

Webber hit with penalty

Mark Webber has been hit with a five-place grid penalty, while Michael Schumacher has been fined.

Due to the rain there might not have been much drama on the track, but off it, Formula One can always keep up the entertainment levels.

Mercedes Michael Schumacher was fined €2500 for not using the pit-entry road correctly during free practice.

The reason behind the fine rather than a grid penalty, was explained by the fact that when he missed the pit-lane cone, he was alone on the track.

Red Bull driver Mark Webber will not avoid a grid penalty though when he changes his gear-box ahead of free practice 3 this morning.

The Red Bull driver and World championship contender finished the Hungarian Grand Prix, so doesn't really have any arguments over the penalty.
