Magnussen relegated to Bahrain pit lane start
Renault driver Kevin Magnussen will have to start Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix from the pit lane for breaching weight check rules in practice on Friday, organisers said.
The Dane had finished 16th fastest in second practice -- when his infringement took place -- after being 15th quickest in the opening session.
"The driver failed to stop for weighing during P2 when signalled to do so by the red traffic light, the car was not returned to the FIA garage and work was undertaken," said a statement from the stewards which appeared on the official FIA website.
"In accordance with Article 29.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations the driver is required to start from the pit lane."
