The revised Belgian GP grid

The revised Belgian GP grid

There is only one change to the grid for Sunday's Belgian GP after Pastor Maldonado was penalised for his collision with Lewis Hamilton.

The duo made contact after the end of Q2 when Maldonado side-swiped Hamilton as the two were on their in-lap.

It was a strange incident for which the stewards felt the blame belonged mainly to the Williams driver and handed him a five-place grid penalty for 'causing an avoidable incident'.

Maldonado will therefore drop from P16 to P21.

His is the only change as Hamilton was not penalised but rather reprimanded.

Meanwhile, all 24 drivers were cleared to race despite Virgin's Jerome D'Ambrosio and HRT duo Tonio Liuzzi and Daniel Ricciard being outside the 107 percent qualifying time.
