He was classified in 11th, 1 lap down according to the official F1 site's results. So will he get a 10 spot penalty in Imola? Anyone know? |

He didn't finish though. I don't known how the rules work, remember that last year BAR will also have been classified yet they changed engines. Why there has to be an engine penalty in the first place though IO don't understand. Well I do, but I don't see the point. |

Button did not cross the finish line, so he won't get an engine penalty. He is officially a retirement *and* also classified in his particular position (10th) due to having completed more than 90% of the race distance. If he'd crossed the line, he'd have been classified a finisher, not a retirement, and would have had the 10 place penalty. That's how poor old DC got stung.... |
