Renault's Giancarlo Fisichella has 'lost' his three fastest qualifying laps after race stewards decided that the Italian had impeded David Coulthard in the final phase of today's session.
In a statement released this afternoon, having heard evidence from both drivers, the stewards found that the Italian had held up the Scot, even if his action was not deliberate. Consequently, the Renault driver's three fastest laps were deleted.
Consequently the Italian will start from tenth on the grid.
The incident involving Michael Schumacher is still being investigated.
