Michael Schumacher has been given another 10-place grid penalty for the Japanese GP, following his collision with Jean-Eric Vergne in Singapore.

Earlier this year, an incident at Barcelona led to a penalty in Monaco, where the Mercedes driver was fastest in qualifying.

Schumacher admitted he has made a mistake, and the stewards took into account the fact that it was the second similar offense this season.

The penalty will cost the former champion dearly at Suzuka, one of his favorite tracks.
