AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda is set to start Formula 1’s Belgian Grand Prix from the pit lane after taking a fresh power unit.
Tsunoda was due to start from 13th place on the grid, following a raft of penalties elsewhere, having originally qualified in 19th spot.
However it was announced on Sunday morning that Tsunoda has taken fresh power unit components, and a new exhaust, and this was not undertaken with prior approval from the FIA.
As a consequence Tsunoda has to start the grand prix from the pit lane.
It will promote every driver originally behind him on the grid one position each.
It means Max Verstappen will now start from 14th on the grid, with Charles Leclerc 15th.
