The new regulations are no exception, and at least four drivers will receive penalties: in addition to the already “known” Lando Norris, Isack Hadjar, and Lance Stroll, Fernando Alonso has been added.

Since this results in more than 15 grid place penalties, the Spaniard will start from the last row with Hadjar. Almost certainly, therefore, from the last position, with the Frenchman 21st.
