Liuzzi gets five-place grid penalty for Monza crash
The HRT driver will lose five places on the grid at Singapore for the first corner incident at Monza where he put Petrov and Rosberg out of the race and damaged other cars. "I had a good start getting past both Virgins, Lotuses and Daniel but then I went for another overtaking manoeuvre and got closed out. I am really sorry for Petrov, Rosberg and the other drivers."

It was an amazing start, I really thought I could be in a good position for the race.

Fernando Alonso
You were in a great position Liuzzi, just a pity you were facing the wrong direction when you got there.

Michael Schumacher
Yeah, the midfield lads must have got a bit of a shock when he ploughed backwards through the lot of them.

Me not knows what hits me, now family Petrov finds Liuzzis and with with the moneys and powers crush.

Fernando Alonso
It was hardly that big a surprise, the HRTs always seem to be going backwards to me.

Michael Schumacher
Anyway, I think we really should thank Liuzzi for providing the most entertaining moment of the race.

No racing incident, no matter how big or small and regardless of the outcome, should be considered as any kind of entertainment. The footage should be reviewed solely to learn valuable lessons, and not to get your kicks. What you said is crass Schumacher, people could have been seriously hurt in that accident.
mschumi
Michael Schumacher
No one of value Jackie. And nobody can deny the entertainment value of Barrichello beaching himself on the kerb trying to drive away from the scene.

Rubens Barrichello
It's so unfair, I was just trying to escape from yet another set of circumstances conspiring against me.

Michael Schumacher
Those kerbs are difficult to avoid Barrichello, especially at 3 miles per hour - around the same speed you were going when you failed to find a way around Britney's car in the first place.

Nico Rosberg
I hope I haven't lost any of your respect due to this incident Michael, it was completely out of my control.
mschumi
Michael Schumacher
You can't lose what you don't have Britney. Anyway it's good to see you finally making an "impact" in F1.

Well they'll probably have to extend the grid in Singapore to put Liuzzi down in 29th place. That could cost a fortune.

Martin Brundle
That's actually a good observation... so basically what you're saying is it's a pointless penalty then.

David Coulthard
Obviously there can't be any points involved in the penalty Martin, Liuzzi hasn't had a top 10 finish all season.
