Hamilton receives qualifying penalty

Lewis Hamilton has been demoted to ninth spot on the grid for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver has had his fastest qualifying time deleted for jumping a chicane during the lap which saw him qualify in seventh position.

The decision comes as a further blow to the Briton who had already expressed his unhappiness after failing to deliver when it mattered most having showed good pace throughout Thursday and Friday's practice session.
