Oct.10 (GMM) Vitaly Petrov will move five places down the inaugural Korean GP grid in two weeks.
FIA stewards decided to penalise the Russian rookie for crashing into Williams' Nico Hulkenberg before the first corner of Sunday's Japanese race at Suzuka.Hulkenberg had a bad start and was passed by the Renault, who hit the German's front wheel by turning back onto the racing line too soon.Petrov argued that he moved too soon to avoid Nick Heidfeld, but the stewards announced that he had "caused a collision".Also investigated by the stewards at Suzuka was Felipe Massa's first corner crash, when he lost control on the inside grass and took out the Force India of Vitantonio Liuzzi."He seemed to come into my side like a bullet," said Liuzzi.The FIA officials, however, took no action.
