Pastor Maldonado will be demoted ten place from wherever he qualifies for next weekend's Italian Grand Prix after receiving two five-place penalties for incidents at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Maldonado's race ended on lap four but in that time he jumped the start and was also involved in a collision with Timo Glock. As a result he has been handed two five-place grid penalties for the next race.

The jump start was clear to see and even prompted race director Charlie Whiting to shake his head as he watched the cars depart. Maldonado then spun at the first corner and picked up a puncture due to the debris from a separate incident involving Romain Grosjean, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

A pit stop dropped him to the back of the pack and then he made contact with Glock's Marussia at the restart, which damaged his front wing and put him out of the race.

"I made a slight mistake at the start because the clutch slipped out of my hands before the red light switched off," Maldonado explained. "We then got caught up in the first corner incident and that compromised our race. I'm disappointed because we could have scored some good points here, but it's not long until the next race so we're looking forward now."

Pastor Maldonado will be demoted 10 places on the Italian Grand Prix grid as a punishment for both jumping the start in Belgium and colliding with Timo Glock.

The Williams driver had already been given a three-place grid penalty at Spa for blocking Nico Hulkenberg in qualifying.

He then made a premature getaway in the race, before being tagged into a spin as the crash involving Romain Grosjean, Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and the Saubers unfolded.

Maldonado rejoined, only to collide with Timo Glock's Marussia at the restart, ending his race.

Although Glock was able to continue, the stewards ruled that Maldonado's actions in the clash deserved a five-place penalty.

They also bestowed an additional five-place drop as he had been unable to take the usual drivethrough penalty for a jump-start in the race due to his early retirement.

"The driver failed to finish the race so the usual penalty for a false start could not be imposed," said an official statement.

Maldonado accepted the blame for the start error.

"I made a slight mistake at the start because the clutch slipped out of my hands before the red light switched off," he said.

It all evens out. Our "hate", or rather, criticism, is met with the same treatment you hand out to Grosjean, McLaren, Lewis Hamilton and his loonies and Ferrari.
