Rosberg sent to the back

Nico Rosberg was having a bad day even before the FIA Stewards met to discuss the fact that he ignored a signal to stop to have his car weighed during the qualifying session. The youngster could not make his car work well and so ended up 19th on the grid. He has now been sent to the back for missing the weight check. Williams will thus have to rely on Mark Webber who starts the race from 12th place on the grid.
