Daniil Kvyat edges even closer to race ban
Daniil Kvyat has been docked three grid positions ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix grid after he impeded Lance Stroll during the opening session of qualifying.
He was also given a tenth penalty point on his FIA super licence for the incident, meaning he is now just two points away from a race ban.
Kvyat was recovering from a spin at Turn 4 when Stroll's Williams closed up behind him on a fast lap at Turn 11.
The Toro Rosso driver was nursing his car back to the pits due to vibrations from his flat-spotted tyres, but the stewards believed he should have made a greater effort to move out of the way given that it was the end of Q1 and other drivers would be completing quick laps.
