Timo Glock | 14 | None | 21st |

GRO was taken out on lap 2, using the pace of RAI I determined that GRO would have maintained his 6th position as even though the car was quick at that stage of the season I don't believe he would have been quick enough to overhaul Alonso.
MSC had a gearbox failure, Mercedes have had a dog of a car all season and even though he started in 4th I think he will have lost paces and dropped down to 7th.
HUL is a tricky one to determine, he was taken out in a 1st lap incident, I've not being able to find out if it was his fault or another drivers that he was out of the race. I have given him the benefit of the doubt and looking at the pace of the Force India in comparison to the other cars I have given him 11th place.
SEN & MAS Both collided with each other and subsequently retired on later laps. I have not found out who was at fault and have treated it as a racing incident and given them 15th and 16th positon.
ROS collided with PER in a last lap incident, fault to be determined, both were classified though. ROS may need to be reclassified above SEN & MAS depending on the outcome of the debate.
MAL crashed on his own while chasing down ALO, this was a last lap incident so has been classified in front of the drivers who were a lap down on the leaders.
KOV & PET both had mechanical issues but their cars were faster than the Marussias and they should have overtaken them had they stayed in the race.
