Kobayashi to Start From Seventh After Grid Reshuffle

Sauber’s Kamui Kobayashi will start the Japan­ese race from sev­enth after the FIA released the pro­vi­sional grid for Sunday’s event at Suzuka. Along with Mer­cedes’ Michael Schu­macher and Renault duo Bruno Senna and Vitaly Petrov, Kobayashi didn’t set a time dur­ing Q3 and was orig­i­nally clas­si­fied in tenth.

But the FIA sport­ing reg­u­la­tions split those who don’t record a time dur­ing qual­i­fy­ing ses­sions into three cat­e­gories to deter­mine the grid order. Dri­vers who attempt to set a time by start­ing a fly­ing lap are ordered first, fol­lowed by dri­vers who leave their garage but don’t start a fly­ing lap and finally dri­vers who stay in their garage. Within each group, dri­vers are then arranged in numer­i­cal order.

Unlike Schu­macher, Senna and Petrov who didn’t com­plete qual­i­fy­ing attempts, Kobayashi did start a fly­ing lap which he sub­se­quently aborted. Thus Kobayashi and Schu­macher will make up the fourth row in sev­enth and eighth respec­tively, while Senna and Petrov will be on the grid’s fifth row in ninth and tenth.
