Reigning champion Max Verstappen will take the start from 15th place after suffering a driveshaft issue in qualifying. Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc will take the 12th spot on the grid thanks to a 10-place grid penalty for exceeding the maximum number of control electronics allowed during a season.
