Heidfeld reacts to Quali penalty
By BMWF1Talk & Autosport September 27 2008
Nick Heidfeld hasn't remained silent after he recieved a 3 sport penalty following Singapore GP Qualifying. As we have informed before, this penalty was due to an incident with Barrichello during Q1 in the last corner, close to the problematic pitlane entry.Check here what he said:

Heidfeld told autosport.com: "The GPS system does not work here. Normally we are pretty good from the team side to inform me of cars arriving, but here it is not just working. It doesn't show you cars, it then shows the wrong cars or the wrong positions. So I was not informed because the GPS does not work.

"The last part of the circuit was so tight and I watched the mirrors but you don't see cars coming. When I saw him (Rubens) I tried to do the best I could to get out of the way. After the white line I tried to be as quick into the pitlane without moving completely right and going into his way. It was the best I could do. But apparently not enough."

 Further more he said: "Even before the race weekend started it was obvious that there would be issues with the pitlane entry and pitlane exit, so I don't know why it wasn't thought through properly"
