Sergio Perez has been handed a five-place grid demotion after the stewards found he had blocked several drivers during qualifying.
The Sauber driver is the fourth driver to drop five places following gearbox changes for Mark Webber, Romain Grosjean and Nico Rosberg.
A statement from the FIA said the penalty was “imposed due to the driver being involved in two similar offences in the same session.” Those two drivers were Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
The Mexican qualified 12th, but will likely start 17th.
