Hamilton drops 10 places after collision: Candian GP
MONTREAL, June 9: McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton will drop 10 places on the French Grand Prix starting grid after a pit lane collision with Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen in Canada on Sunday.
Race stewards also imposed the same penalty on Williams’ Nico Rosberg.
Hamilton and world champion Raikkonen were forced to retire after the coming together in a race eventually won by BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica.
The German was able to return to the pits for a new front wing and finished 10th.
The French GP, round eight of the 18-race championship, will be held at Magny Cours on June 22.
