Nico Rosberg Fined
During Free Practice 1, Nico Rosberg lost control of his Mercedes at the first corner, and slid into the side of Jaime Alguersuari's Toro Rosso. Nico was told to go to the stewards after the race, where the incident would be discussed. However, Nico arrived late to the meeting, as he was talking to the press. In the end, the stewards decided that there would be no punishment for the accident, but that Nico would be fined for arriving late to the meeting. Rosberg recieved a E10,000 fine, 5,000 of which would be suspended.
Korea's Pit Exit
It is not only Nico & Jaime who have had troubles with the pit exit at the Korean GP. When exiting the pits, the driver is sent straight onto the racing line, which could results in close encounters during a race. However, the only real alternatives are to send the drivers all the way around the gravel trap of turn 1; or, have an Abu-Dhabi style pit exit tunnel. The tunnel may be a bit drastic, but if something is not done, then a serious accident will happen eventually.
Sahara Buys Part Of Force India
Vijay Mallya has sold nearly half of his team to India group, Sahara India Pariwar. They have paid $100 million to have 42.5% of the team. Vijay now owns 42.5%, while the remaining 15% belongs to Michael Mol. The size of the investment is staggering, and it should aid Force India's dreams of becoming a top 5 team.
