I didn't notice the one change of direction bit.... Did anybody else?

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso have been hit with 20-second penalties following a collision in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.

The verdict means that Hamilton drops from seventh to eighth place, although Alonso retains sixth.

Hamilton's penalty was for making more than one change of direction while defending his position. Alonso's was for causing a collision.

Alonso was trying to pass Hamilton after Turn 3 but clipped the McLaren.

Once again Alonso involved in controversy, could be his dislike of Lewis came into play here.

Personaly I think Lewis was treated harshly for defending his position.

All a bit messy, and it was a great battle shame they got penalties for racing really!
