Maldonado slapped with grid penalty

Maldonado slapped with grid penalty

Pastor Maldonado will start the Bahrain GP five places back from his qualifying position as he has incurred a grid slot penalty.

The Williams driver, who finished P8 at the previous race in China bagging his first points of the campaign, will face a massive task repeating that performance in Bahrain.

Maldonado will start the race five places back from his qualifying position after his Williams team were forced to change his gearbox.

Under F1 regulations, a gearbox change comes with an automatic five-placed grid-penalty.
