From http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/62068 Seems a bit of a harsh penalty, especially since it is not subject to appeal. I have no idea whether the collision was his fault or not, but in either case the penalty seems a bit over-the-top. |

What actually happened? Though I would love to follow the WTCC I don't have Sky (refuse too) so cannot watch it. |

I didn't see the race, but by all accounts the first-lap collision at Oschersleben was something of a biggie. Some amateur footage of the accident here but it's difficult to see what went on. Zanardi was blamed for this incident and has been penalised with a 10-place grid penalty for the next four races. |

That sounds ridiculous, especially as the other driver involved dismissed it as a racing incident... |

Whilst I agree with penalties being imposed for bad driving I find it totally unacceptable that there is no right of appeal in this case (or indeed any other case where a penalty has been imposed). |
