Sergio Perez has been handed a 10-second time penalty post-race for overtaking Brendon Hartley on the formation lap.
The incident was acknowledged by the stewards during the race however they said the incident would be investigated fully after the race.
The time penalty is added to Perez's race time and it drops him from 12th to 14th place, behind Hartley and Charles Leclerc.
The Mexican came to blows with the Kiwi just four corners into the grand prix with the Toro Rosso driver earning himself a 10-second time penalty for contact with the Force India, spinning him around.
Both Perez and teammate Esteban Ocon had a weekend to forget with neither driver finishing in the points.
