SHANGHAI — Williams has been fined 50,000 euros ($54,000) by the Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix stewards due to a communication error. The penalty relates to the Williams team's failure to capture onboard video during Friday's practice as it believed the cameras would come pre-loaded with memory SD cards. The majority of the fine _ 40,000 euros ($43,000) _ was suspended. Williams said its internal procedures will be addressed, and that all future recordings will be provided without issue.
