Apparently the earlier report was wrong and all drivers under investigation received a 5 second penalty. Three of the four that were previously thought to have been exonerated, Buemi, Petrov, and Liuzzi, along with De La Rosa find themselves demoted in the finishing line-up. As Hulkenberg had retired the penalty did not alter his finishing position. The top four investigated (Button, Barrichello, Kubica and Sutil) did not lose position, as they were sufficiently ahead of each other and Alonso, the new 8th place driver.
