Hm, @keithcollantine, seems the first table has some mistakes. Surely both Grosjean and Massa retired due to accidents, not a technical issue. Not sure about Hülkenberg, but as far as I remember he had damage from the collision with Webber that put him out of the race.

Also HRT’s should be DNQ

@bascb That was fixed a while ago, forgot to mention.

Perhaps the 1st table could have a “retired due to collision” or similar column as there are arguments for Grosjean and Massa’s exits to be either or both “technical failure” and “accident” and both could be misleading, though arguably correct!
Also would it be possible to record grid drop penalties and reprimands on the penalties table?
Finally, Kovalainens grid drop penalty that he got hasn’t been added yet, is that because it was awarded post race so only gets added when he actually serves it (the next race)?

@wigster
Grid drops are (see the qualifying page for more); reprimands aren’t because I haven’t been able to rely on the FIA providing documented details of all of them in the past. That may change, however.

I knew Pastor Maldonado will get mostly penalties from rough driving.

How come race ban to Romain is not included in Penalties?

@sularif There isn’t a column for race bans because they’re very rare – none were issued in the 17 seasons prior to 2012.
