Kamui Kobayashi has been handed a five grid position penalty by the race stewards after finding him guilty of blocking during yesterday's qualifying session at the Hockenheimring.

The Japanese driver, who finished the session in 8th position, was judged to have held up Lucas di Grassi during the session by the stewards, who had no option but to hand down the penalty.

Kobayashi will now start from 13th on the grid in race
