Penalty puts Sutil at back of grid

Adrian Sutil will drop to the back of the Bahrain GP grid after receiving a five-place penalty for an incident involving Romain Grosjean in Q1.

Sutil, who also gets two penalty points on his superlicence, had only qualified 18th after a troubled session for the Sauber driver.

The stewards reported that “car 99 forced car 8 off the track between turns 13 and 14 in an unsafe manner.”

Those who move up a place are Kamui Kobayashi, Jules Bianchi, Marcus Ericsson and Max Chilton.
