Three drivers have to pay a considerable amount of money after the Saturday in Barcelona. Stefan Mücke and Bruno Spengler both paid 1,000 Euros, because the ground clearance in free practice had been found to be insufficient. Both cars were checked twice on Saturday morning. Jamie Green, who failed to make it through after the second qualifying heat, also has to pay 1,000 Euros because his team had closed the door of the pit box immediately after the car had returned to the garage, which is forbidden by the regulations.
