Saward sez:
Romain Grosjean had been given a one race ban for causing the accident in Spa.It is likely that Jerome d’Ambrosio will get the drive in MonzaPastor Maldonado has been given two five-place grid penalties for Monza for a jumped start and causing a collision with Timo Glock.

I dunno if this was the "impact" that Grosjean was hoping for this season.
BTW the last driver banned from a GP for causing a first lap accident was this guy:

IThis post adds some context which is really helpful, I think. I hadn't really thought about incidents in lower competitions.
Grosjean seemed genuinely horrified and admits that he'd almost killed Alonso and Hamilton, whereas Maldonado seems to always find someone or something else responsible. (There was footage of Whiting shaking his head, 'you're a dumbass'-style, at Maldonado at the start)
Last person with a ban was Mika Hakkinen (missed Hungary 1994); before him Schumacher (missed Italy and Portugal 1994), and before him Irvine (missed Pacific, San Marino, and Monaco 1994). (I have learned from this that the 1994 season was especially insane and bizarre all around.)

And you can relive 1994 at length right here

Sorry Pato, I was too pedantic there, you'd mentioned 'for causing a first lap accident'

Oh, I basically wanted to post a lol 90s Irvine picture but surprisingly, those were thin on the ground.
So here's something more recent:

He waited forever to change tires, which is a huge part of it.

The weather forecast suggests that rain might fall during the race on Sunday night.

ok just got my hands on F1 2012 xbox game. first impression: these cars are hard to drive, no wonder pastor and roman are always stacking into people through the first turn. I am having a steeper learning curve trying to get my F1 mojo back (last competitive season: F1 97 on playstation!) than schumacher has probably had during his comeback. DRS and KERS are kinda hilariously appropriate for a game though.
second impression: the heavy rain effect is terrifying tbh.
third impression: lol dadrock soundtrack.
