Hamilton Stripped of Pole at Spanish Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton of McLaren lost his Spanish Grand Prix pole position for breaking Formula One rules, giving Pastor Maldonado first place on the starting grid for Sunday’s race near Barcelona.
Hamilton was forced to stop after crossing the line during qualifying, and his team said he had insufficient fuel to return to the pits. The sport’s governing body declared a rules violation and bumped him to last place.
