Kevin Magnussen has been handed a 20-second penalty for failing to leave enough room for Fernando Alonso when the pair were battling for position on the Kemmel Straight.
The McLaren driver was defending fifth place when Alonso had to take to the grass to avoid contact. Magnussen eventually finished sixth with Alonso eighth.
However the stewards added a time penalty of 20-seconds to the Dane’s time, demoting him to 12th and promoting those behind him.
He was also handed two penalty points to his F1 licence.
The penalty sees Nico Hulkenberg take up the final points paying position.
