Antonio Giovinazzi and Gustav Malja have been hit with time penalties after an action packed feature race in Monaco.
Both drivers received five second time penalties for leaving the track and gaining an advantage.
Giovinazzi left the track at Turn 10 and was deemed to have gained an advantage, his penalty dropped him from seventh to eleventh.
This promotes Marvin Kirchhofer up to seventh and Nobuharu Matsushita up to eighth place, these two will line up on the front row for tomorrow’s sprint race.
Tomorrow presents a great opportunity for the 2014 Japanese Formula Three champion to earn his second GP2 sprint race victory when he starts from pole position, exactly where he started when he took his maiden GP2 victory.
Danïel de Jong and Arthur Pic are promoted to ninth and tenth place respectfully, their first points of 2016.
Malja’s penalty came after he left the track at Turn 1 and gained an advantage. However, his penalty keeps him 14th. It’s been a difficult weekend for the Swede after such a strong showing last time out in Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Artem Markelov escaped punishment after it was proved he jumped Norman Nato legally, meaning the Russian keeps his maiden GP2 victory.
Tomorrow’s sprint race gets under way at 1510 BST.
