Spyker MF1 driver, Christijan Albers, who only yesterday was confirmed as the team's driver in 2007, has been relegated to the back of the grid for tomorrow's race following an infringement during qualifying.

Stewards penalised the Dutch driver for ignoring an official call to the weighbridge during the first phase of qualifying. It was decided to take his lap times, which saw the Spyker driver relegated to 22nd spot, having originally qualified 19th. However, Massa's ten-spot grid penalty would have seen Albers start from 18th on the grid.
