Vergne

Jean-Eric Vergne has been hit with a 10-place grid drop for the Spanish Grand Prix after losing a wheel in practice.

Toro Rosso has also been fined $40,000 for the incident, which occurred in Friday's second session.

"This is regarded as a serious offence and the stewards are of the opinion that this was a significant breach of the safety requirements," read a report from the stewarding panel, which this weekend includes Danny Sullivan.

The FIA has requested that all cars are examined by the technical delegate once more to avoid a repeat.
