Grosjean escapes penalty for post-qualifying floor test failure

Romain Grosjean has escaped penalty, despite his Lotus car failing a post-qualifying front floor deflection test on Saturday.

The Frenchman, who will now retain his third-place grid slot, could potentially have been excluded from qualifying, but after a hearing with representatives from Lotus, the stewards accepted that the test failure was a result of damage to one of the floor stays caused by Grosjean running over the kerbs at Turn 11 in Q2
