BMW Sauber’s Nick Heidfeld and Honda’s Rubens Barrichello have been penalised by race stewards in Singapore after an incident at the pit entry during the first phase of qualifying.

Heidfeld, who was to start the race from P6, has been dropped three places on the grid for impeding Barrichello, while the Brazilian has been handed a 10,000 euro fine for incorrectly entering the pit lane.
Wow.

As much as it sucks that Barrichello was impeded I really don't think punishing Heidfeld for a mistake made by the track designers/officials is the solution. A silly decision even if it is one that will have very little effect on the race.
