Perera loses qualifying time

A statement from the race organisers stated that Perera failed to stop for weighing when asked to do so in the first qualifying session on Thursday afternoon.

After meeting with the race stewards to explain what happened, the decision was taken to exclude Perera from first qualifying.

It means that the Frenchman will need to set a time in tomorrow's final qualifying session to be allowed to start the race.

Revised qualifying positions:
