Kubica DQ is Ferrari and Schumacher gain.
Having been at the receiving end of the stewards wrath this weekend, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari were advantaged at the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix after Robert Kubica was disqualified from his seventh place finish.
The Pole had claimed a surprise two points on his debut with the team but officials disqualified him on the grounds of his car being 2kg underweight by virtue of the team choosing not to bring him into the pit lane to swap his intermediate tyres.
Having been at the receiving end of the stewards wrath this weekend, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari were advantaged at the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix after Robert Kubica was disqualified from his seventh place finish.
The Pole had claimed a surprise two points on his debut with the team but officials disqualified him on the grounds of his car being 2kg underweight by virtue of the team choosing not to bring him into the pit lane to swap his intermediate tyres.
As a result, the loss of tread saw Kubica lose 2kg of weight in rubber and was duly disqualified from the standings.
Ferrari have therefore become the big beneficiary, with Felipe Massa moving up to seventh for an extra point, while Schumacher claims eighth, despite retiring with three laps to go after being classified ninth at the end of the race. The three points for Ferrari mean the gap to Renault in the constructors' standings is down to seven points.
