RB best qualifying time?

[Andrew 0]

RB had his best qualifying time taken off him for being a bad boy, does anyone know what it was and where would that have placed him on the grid?

Ditto for Sato

Sato and Barrichello both wouldnt have gained any spots with their best times as they were real close with their 2nd best.

It was another 1:13:9, don't know about Sato but in fact all 4 of Barrichello's time would have placed him 8th.

Quite consistent he is.

Not that it ended up making any difference, up to first then out with hydrolic failure.  I think all of RB's future teams should consider putting the reserve driver in RB's car for the Brazilian GP, such is his record there, a grand total of 3 points in 11 starts.

i know why they were taken off them sato speeded in the pit lane and went out when the red light was on in the pits and rubens just went through the red light both did this in one of the free practise sessions.

strange how two drivers did it at one race where it hasnt happened recently before.

Anyone know if the lights are easy to see from the team pit garages at interlagos??

The only other time I can think of was Indy last year with Mika Hakkinen, but he had an excuse because the light was hidden by another vehicle.  He wasn't so lucky either as his second best time dropped him 2 grid places.  All who commented including McLaren staff and MSchu, thought it justice that Hakkinen went on to win.

At least the punishment for the crime is consistant though.

Has the leopard changed it's spots, or (most likely) was the consistancy a coincidence.
