Tonio Liuzzi and Scuderia Toro Rosso have been docked the point scored with eighth place in Japan because the Italian was judged to have overtaken Adrian Sutil under a yellow flag. GrandPrix.com
The final point went to Tonio Liuzzi - the first of the year for Scuderia Toro Rosso - and a book could be written of Tonio’s race for he started in the pitlane, was a lap down almost immediately but then fought back with much brio and a couple of lurid spins.
Later Tonio would lose his - and Toro Rosso’s first points of the year - having failed to see a yellow flag when he was passing Adrian Sutil. So Spyker got the point instead. GrandPrix.com
Vettel’s penalty, though, wasn’t the only punishment handed down to Toro Rosso on Sunday evening.
His team-mate Tonio Liuzzi was stripped of his eighth place and points-paying position and dropped to P9 after allegedly overtaking under yellow flags.
The team, though, is appealing the stewards’ decision. F1.com
