Poulsen gets grid penalty

Kristian Poulsen has been given a five-place grid penalty for the next round of the World Touring Car Championship at Oschersleben after causing a collision with Norbert Michelisz in race two at Donington Park. Race stewards decided that the Engstler BMW driver was guilty of spinning around Michelisz's similar Zengo-Dension car at Goddard's before the pair then collided head-on. Poulsen was not the only driver punished at Donington; former world champion Gabriele Tarquini was reprimanded for making contact with Colin Turkington in both races while Yvan Muller was given a suspended grid penalty after hitting his Chevrolet team-mate Rob Huff in race two.
