Canada 2012 - Starting grid - The grid takes shape post-penalties, slightly different to the qualifying order

Published 10 June 2012 by Christine

Pastor Maldonado crashed midway through the qualifying session, and although it looked as though he had managed to save the car from any major damage, Williams have had to change the gearbox. A five place grid penalty for Maldonado drops him down the order, but all the attention is on Vettel up front - to see what he can do from pole position.
