Webber to now start 6th at Sepang

Following 5 grid spot penalty to both McLaren drivers, Mark Webber will now start 6th at the Malaysian Grand Prix. The McLaren duo were docked the spots after stewards deemed they blocked the last laps of Heidfeld and Alonso. Due to expected rain the McLaren drivers had completed their final run slightly early, whilst Heidfeld and Alonso started their last flying lap. As the McLaren drivers were returning to the pits slowly to conserve fuel, they were quickly caught by the BMW and Renault. It appears this occurred at one of the more tighter turns on the track and neither could get right out of the way. It has lead to a discussion lead by Alonso about a rule maybe being needed. He did not feel that either driver acted with deliberate intent but that the speed difference was to blame. As he noted there was up to 150kmh difference and at that closing speed the situation is dangerous.
