As a result, the Russian Time driver?will lose second place on the grid and be relegated to the back of the grid.

Lazarus driver Sergio Canamasas was penalised for the same reason, losing ninth place.

Series leader Stoffel Vandoorne inherits the front row position alongside pole-sitter Pierre Gasly, with Alex ?Lynn and Sergey Sirotkin starting behind them.

In addition, Marlon Stockinger and debutant Meindert van Buuren both were handed three-place grid penalties for impeding Rene Binder.
