German Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher has been given a ten-place grid penalty ahead of
the next Grand Prix at Suzuka in Japan after stewards in Singapore ruled that Schumacher was to blame for the dramatic crash which took out Frenchman Jean-Eric Vergne.
'Schumi' was ruled to have misjudged the braking point of Turn 14, just after the safety car restart. The
impact left Mercedes confused and removed Toro Rosso's Vergne
from a points-paying position. After the race, 'der Rekordmeister' had put the incident down to a technical problem.
An FIA report reads: 'The driver (Schumacher) admitted the collision was his
error due to the failure to anticipate the braking performance of the
car with lower tyre grip following a Safety Car period. The penalty
takes into account that this is the second similar offence by the driver
this season (after hitting Bruno Senna in Spain)
