INDIANAPOLIS -- IndyCar fined Team Penske $35,000 and docked it 15 points Tuesday after a post-race inspection turned up a problem on Helio Castroneves race-winning car at Texas. Series officials said the No. 3 car didnt comply with a rule requiring the "exit of the underwing height" to be 7.6 inches. Team Penske said it found after Saturday nights race that the height was instead 7.575 inches because "we neglected to tighten the braces that position the rear of the diffuser following pre-race inspection." "Obviously we are very disappointed that the No. 3 car did not pass post-race inspection after Saturdays race at Texas," Penske Racing President Tom Cindric said. "The way Helios car raced did not provide any advantage as a lower diffuser height actually adds drag and reduces downforce. To ensure this is the case, we ran this configuration in the wind tunnel on Monday morning and found that the No. 3 car actually raced with three pounds less downforce and one pound more drag than what it would have had if we tightened the underwing braces properly." Castroneves led the final 132 laps at Texas Motor Speedway and finished 4.7 seconds ahead of Ryan Hunter-Reay to give Penske its first win of the IndyCar season. It was the 28th career victory for Castroneves, who took over sole possession of the points lead. That wont change because of the penalties issued Tuesday. IndyCar came into Texas under scrutiny following a series of penalties tied to driver behaviour, including a $30,000 fine against Sebastian Saavedra for directing an obscene gesture toward Marco Andretti in Detroit. Will Power was placed on probation for the rest of the season for throwing his gloves at Sebastien Bourdais following an accident during Sundays race. Bourdais was placed on probation for comments made toward officials on pit road after the same accident. Simona De Silvestro, Simon Pagenaud and Tristan Vautier were each penalized a 10-grid spot penalty before the Texas race for making unapproved engine changes since last weekends doubleheader in Detroit.

The world champion, the polesitter at 2016s opening two rounds, will start no higher than sixth for Sundays race after Mercedes opted to change the gearbox in his car after it sustained damage in Bahrain.

It has been a good track to me for many years so I feel good coming here, Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.Naturally when you arrive in Shanghai and find out youre already going to be starting five places behind wherever I qualify is a kick in the goonies, but you just take it.

They change it and I go again. I dont use it as a concern, Im sure the team are focussed on it, he said.Asked what caused the damage he responded: It doesnt really matter.Following poor starts from pole in each of the first two races, Hamilton already trails Rosberg by 17 points in the Drivers Championship. The Briton has started either first or second amid a run of eight consecutive Mercedes front-row lockouts, with last Septembers Singapore GP the only time in the last 29 races Hamilton has not started in the front two.Hamiltons penalty now presents Ferrari with the chance to claim a rare front-row start as they look to recover from reliability problems in the first two races which have left them 50 points behind Mercedes in the Constructors Championship.
