Audi's di Grassi stripped of Santiago FE pole, starts last

Lucas di Grassi has been excluded from qualifying for FIA Formula E's Santiago E-Prix and will now start from the back of the grid. 

The Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler driver had taken a dominant pole position during qualifying in Chile but he has now been stripped of a front-row starting position after having his laptime deleted following an infraction of the slow in-lap procedure after his group qualifying run. 

It means Sebastien Buemi, who was over half a second slower than di Grassi in the Super Pole, has been promoted to the top of the grid. The Nissan e.dams driver will now be joined on the front row by Mahindra's Pascal Wehrlein. 

Stoffel Vandoorne, another star of qualifying in Chile, was demoted one position on the grid for failing to stop for a red light on his way to the track to start his Super Pole effort, will begin from his original fifth place spot. 

All other drivers have shuffled up the grid by one position.
