A1 Team Canada has lost its top ten grid slot for tomorrow's Feature race. Robert Wickens was judged by stewards to have not complied with blue flag requests from marshals, when Sergio Jimenez's A1 Team Brazil car was coming up behind him quickly in the third qualifying segment.
A blue flag indicates to a driver that a faster car is coming up behind and they should move over.
He had his best overall time deleted, and his time from the first segment was only good enough for the team to line up for the Feature race 21st, instead of eighth.
Canada had already qualified 15th for the Sprint race.
