Giovinazzi, who is second in the standings, was set to start tomorrow's race from the front row, beaten by only half a tenth by points leader Pierre Gasly.
However, one tyre on his car was below the permitted pressure limit and he was ordered to the back of the grid as a result.
Arden's Nabil Jeffri claimed his first top 10 qualifying result but had two tyres in breach of the regulations and will join Giovinazzi on the last row as a result.
The penalties promote Artem Markelov to second place on the grid, with Arthur Pic and Mitch Evans now starting right behind the top two.
