F1 world champion Max Verstappen will be one of six drivers to start Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix from the back of the grid.
The Red Bull man will be joined by Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Valtteri Bottas and Mick Schumacher in being sanctioned for making power unit changes to their cars. With Spa being a track where it's deemed easier to overtake, teams have opted to make the alterations at a track where the damage can be minimised.
An official F1 statement confirmed that Verstappen, Norris, Ocon and Bottas will have new internal combustion engines, turbochargers and MGU-Hs - taking them above and beyond their limit for the season. Verstappen, Ocon and Leclerc will also be penalised for taking on new MGU-Ks and, in Leclerc’s case, a new energy store.
