Hamilton, Rosberg, punished for pitlane smash
Ten place drops in France

Jun.8 (GMM) Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were both penalised by stewards for the bizarre pitlane collisions during Sunday's Canadian grand prix.

The pair will move ten places back on the Magny Cours grid in a fortnight, the French news agency AFP said.

Former championship leader and pole sitter Hamilton, 23, was the first to slam into the stationary Ferrari of Raikkonen, who was duly waiting for the pitlane traffic light to turn green.

Rosberg, who drives for Williams, then hit Hamilton.
