Bruno Senna penalized 5 grid places in Singapore
The bad streak continues for the Brazilian: after his two accidents, the Williams driver now has to change his gearbox. He will start 22nd.
Bruno Senna’s Singaporean weekend is not exactly idyllic: the Brazilian, already involved in an accident on Friday during free practice, went off the track during qualifying, destroying his right rear wheel. A collision with one of the barriers on the Marina Bay track not only affects the rear suspension but also the gearbox of the Williams FW34. As a result, since the mechanical component has not covered the required distance of 5 races, B. Senna is penalized with a 5-place grid drop, relegating him to 22nd position, just ahead of the two HRTs.
The Williams driver is not the only one penalized this weekend as Pedro de la Rosa also changed his gearbox, but he qualified in last position, and Charles Pic will be penalized 20 seconds at the end of the race for overtaking a competitor under red flag conditions.
