Chinese Grand Prix winner Mercedes has been fined by the race stewards for the incident involving Michael Schumacher during his pit stop.
The German was forced to retire from the race after his mechanics failed to secure the right-front tire properly during his first and only stop. Schumacher's incident was under investigation and the FIA imposed a fine of 5,000 euros to the team after the race for the unsafe release of the German's car.
"The prompt action of the driver, in stopping the car as soon as the problem was noticed, is taken into account in the penalty determination," said the stewards.
