Grosjean gets penalized 10 grid positions
Romain Grosjean |
GP2 championship leader Romain Grosjean will start ten places further back from where he qualifies for the next round of the championship at Silverstone.
The ten-place penalty was applied after Sunday’s Sprint Race in Valencia, with the Frenchman being adjudged to have caused an avoidable accident.
At the start, the DAMS pilot – Saturday's winner – was involved in contact with Sam Bird before spinning and being hit by both Rodolfo González and Charles Pic.
Heading to Great Britain, Franco-Swiss Grosjean holds a one-point lead over The Netherlands’ Giedo van der Garde, with the top five drivers covered by just ten points.
