2011 South Korean Formula 1 Grand Prix: Sunday race results

Rubens Barrichello and Pastor Maldonado were both unrewarded at the end of Sunday’s Korean Grand Prix, a race that saw the former finish outside of the points in 12th place, with the latter picking up a drive-through penalty before retiring on Lap 31.

"Our pace was good today and I was able to fight with quicker cars," said Barrichello. "Once again the Safety Car didn’t go my way and that cost me positions. Having said that, I still enjoyed the race and I had fun overtaking. It’s just a pity we didn’t score."

Maldonado added: "I had a good start and my pace was looking okay. Unfortunately, I made a mistake coming into the pits which cost me a drive-through penalty.

"My race ended when the team spotted a problem with the engine and I had to retire. Not a great weekend, but I’ll now shift my focus to a better result in India."
