Pretty par for the course for team Red.
 
  • Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari): 10-place grid drop for exceeding the season allowance for the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
  • Charles Leclerc (Ferrari): 10-place grid drop for exceeding the season allowance for the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
  • George Russell (Mercedes): 5-place grid drop for taking a fresh ICE (his sixth of the season).
  • Sergio PĂ©rez (Cadillac): Grid drop after taking a new Ferrari ICE, Turbo Charger, and MGU-K
 

Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will all have grid penalties at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Verstappen will start from the back of the grid while Hamilton and Leclerc will both have 10-place penalties.

They join Mercedes driver George Russell in having penalties for using too many engine parts. Russell's drop is only five places.

Verstappen will have an an all-new engine fitted after Red Bull discovered problems after Friday practice.

Leclerc, Hamilton and Russell have all fitted new internal combustion engines.

The penalties for the Ferrari drivers are bigger than Russell's because it is the first time they have exceeded the limit of four engines per season, while Russell had already gone beyond that.
