The starting grid for the 2018 Belgian Grand Prix at Spa Francorchamps has been shuffled a little thanks to four penalties, all of which are for new power unit components, though the top nine remains the same as Saturday's qualifying result.
Valtteri Bottas is the biggest loser, dropping seven places from tenth to 17th and both Nico Hulkenberg and his Renault team-mate Carlos Sainz drop three places each. Stoffel Vandoorne meanwhile drops no places and remains last despite also taking an engine penalty.
Fernando Alonso and the Williams pair are the biggest to gain from the penalties, each moving up three places.
