Danish driver Kevin Magnussen has had his two best lap times deleted after the Formula Renault 3.5 qualifying and will find himself starting in 17th place.

Championship leader Magnussen, who originally qualified third, was found to have blocked both Carlos Huertas and Antonio Felix da Costa during the session.

The penalty inflicted upon Magnussen promotes Nigel Melker to third on the grid and gives Will Buller a spot on the second row.
