Final British GP starting grid

Max Chilton was 13th fastest in qualifying, but a gearbox change after FP3, caused by losing third gear and suffering selector damage, means he is hit with a five-place grid penalty.

This relegates him only to 17th place thanks to Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado, who Chilton had dropped behind, being excluded for not being able to supply a fuel sample.

Maldonado will be allowed to start 20th following his exclusion, as both Caterham drivers cannot be promoted from the back row because they failed to achieve the 107 per cent qualifying cut-off and needed dispensation to be allowed to start.

Esteban Gutierrez is the other driver who has been penalised, but his 10-place grid penalty has only dropped him from 14th to 19th, because he cannot fall behind the cars that did not officially qualifying and he moved back ahead of Maldonado when the Lotus driver was excluded.

This means that Williams pairing Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa, who qualified 17th and 18th, both move up three places, as does Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso.
