Both McLaren drivers have been penalized and will start the race tomorrow 5 places behind their original grid position.

After their final quick laps they have slowed down, thus impending Alonso and Heidfeld, who were at the beginning of their quick laps.

Heikki Kovalainen will start the race tomorrow from P8 while his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, will be one position behind him in P9.

Lewis Hamilton apologised to Heidfeld for the incident though he thinks it was not his fault.
"I was pretty much out of the way, If I held him up then I apologise for that.", he told after the meeting.
McLaren CEO, Martin Whitmarsh defended his drivers by saying that the squeezed out of the way. It was just an unfortunate event.

On the other hand, Nick Heidfeld was clearly frustrated and claimed that the McLaren drivers' actions have cost him the third place on the grid.
"I was approaching my last lap on the option tyre and it would have been my quickest lap if not for the McLarens driving in the middle of the racing line at 80kph. I lost time. I made the corner but it cost me one and a half tenths for sure. It's pretty dangerous as well, other cars were moving pretty slowly but they were off line. The McLarens were just before or in the braking zone so it was difficult to find my braking point.", he told later.
