Monza, Italy:
British Formula One driver Paul di Resta will be relegated five places on the grid for the Italian Grand Prix because of a change of accelerator it was announced on Saturday.
The 26-year-old Force India driver - who is 15th in the overall standings with 28 points - had to have his accelerator changed after last Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
Under the rules drivers can only change their accelerators after a minimum of five races.
Di Resta - whose best finish in 12 races this season has been sixth in the Bahrain Grand Prix - will be dropped five places after final qualifying later on Saturday.
