Lewis Hamilton has been given a 10-place grid penalty for the French Grand Prix as a result of the crash that took out his McLaren and Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari during the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.
The punishment was handed out by FIA race stewards after they reviewed the incident in which Hamilton ran into the back of Raikkonen as the Ferrari driver was observing a red light in the pit lane on lap 18 of the race, which was eventually won by Robert Kubica.
Nico Rosberg of Williams was given the same 10-place drop on the grid after he ran into the back of Hamilton's McLaren Mercedes in the same incident.
Hamilton trails BMW Sauber's Kubica by four points in the world drivers' championship and will now face an even stiffer battle for points at Magny-Cours in two weeks' time.
