For the AT&T
Williams team the 2010 Singapore would see their drivers finish in sixth and
ninth with Rubens Barrichello leading home team-mate Nico Hulkenberg. For
Rubens his race was one of seeing hi9s excellent sixth place grid position
come to nothing as he would lose several places off the start.
As for Nico Hulkenberg his race would see him start from seventeenth after having to take a five place grid penalty. He would spend his race travelling with a group of cars, one being the Force India of Sutil. Nico was not able to find a way past the Force India and would finish behind Sutil. But Sutil would lose his eighth-place finish following a twenty second penalty as the stewards deemed he had gained an advantage for going around the outside of Turn seven on the opening lap of the race. This penalty would move Sutil down to tenth. As a result Nico would move up to eighth. |
