Adrian Sutil and Sebastien Buemi will be demoted five places on the grid for the Brazilian Grand Prix after Stewards in Korea ruled they had been involved in avoidable incidents.

Sutil, who made contact Kamui Kobayashi on lap 47 of the race was also fined $10,000  "in view of the driver's admission that he was aware of brake problems with his car throughout the race."  Buemi was penalised  following his accident with Timo Glock.
