Chilton handed Austria grid penalty for Bianchi clash


Max Chilton will drop three places on the grid for the Formula 1 Grosser Preis von Osterreich 2014 in two weeks' time after being penalised for his lap one crash with Marussia team mate Jules Bianchi.

The pair headed into Turn 3 side by side, but as they exited the right hander Chilton lost the rear of his car and ended up sliding into Bianchi, who was pitched into a heavy crash with the wall on the exit of Turn 4 as a result.

Bianchi retired on the spot, with Chilton limping to a halt one turn later to complete a double-retirement for the team, who only two weeks ago in Monaco scored their maiden F1 points.

It was the first DNF of Chilton's Formula One career. The Briton had recorded 25 straight finishes prior to Canada.
