Raikkonen jumped from fourth in the queue to second, and Ricciardo from sixth to fourth. No action was taken against Pastor Maldonado, Jean-Eric Vergne and Sergio Perez, none of whom gained places. In fact, Maldonado managed to lose one.

As a result, they were put at a disadvantage of two places on the grid, but both drivers actually lose just one place on the provisional grid and will now start Sunday’s race from 10th and 11th respectively, while Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg moves up two places to ninth.
