In what many of us speculated might happen in a rare moment of justice; McLaren has been penalized 5 places for blocking Heidfeld and Alonso on their hot laps.
You can see comments here but Nick Heidfeld and Fernando Alonso were blocked on their hot laps but an eqregiously slow McLaren duo on their cool down laps. This brings into consideration that the new qualifying format should be looked at as drivers are painfully slow in conserving fuel on their slow down laps and with only 10 minutes to make their best attempt, this could be dangerous as well as damaging to many drivers attempts.
