Formula One took time to do the maths on Saturday after an Italian Grand Prix qualifying bursting with penalties left fans and even some drivers in the dark about who would start where on Sunday.
Nine of the 20 drivers had grid drops attached to their names, including three consigned to a back row that only has room for two.
The irony, in a sport bursting with cutting-edge technology and boffins capable of crunching data at warp speed, was apparent. That might have seemed evident, and the Dutch driver had got his sums right, but Formula One is not always that straightforward. "For a moment he said 10th and then he said someone's got a penalty, or someone got a lap deleted, so now you're ninth. And then he goes another one, now you're eighth. It just got better."So yeah, not sure. I had no idea, to answer your question. I knew the lap was a handful so I wasn't expecting a crazy good position crossing the line.
