Sebastian Vettel has been awarded a 5 place grid penalty and 3 penalty points for overtaking under a red flag in FP3.
The four-time World Champion and Roberto Merhi have both been to the stewards to give their views on the incident that occurred between the two.
“Obviously there was a red flag at the time, I was behind the Manor and I don’t know what was the problem with him, he was quite slow and I passed him,” Vettel told Motorsport.com
Vettel suffered an MGU-H failure in qualifying and provisionally qualified 16th but will start the race from 19th, ahead of only the pit-lane starting Button.
