Takuma Sato will have his fastest time in tomorrow's qualifying disallowed by the FIA as a penalty for exiting the pit lane this morning under a red light.  The FIA Stewards of the Meeting issued the penalty, stating that exiting the pit lane when the exit lights are red is contrary to Article 113 of the 2002 FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Sato's second fastest qualifying time will therefore determine his starting position on the grid for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.
