After a crazy qualifying session on Thursday, pole setter van der Garde, Frenchman Romain Grosjean and Swede Marcus Ericsson were penalised for having caused collisions.

Van der Garde will start from sixth place after having crashed with Oliver Turvey during the session.

Grosjean was penalised for a crash with team-mate Pal Varhaug, although the Frenchman had not set a time and would have started from the back anyway.
