George Russell will start from the back of the grid at Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix after a power unit change, a further blow to his championship hopes.
The penalty follows the FIA’s rule that a change of power‑unit components after a driver has used the maximum number of units in a season incurs a grid penalty.
Singapore’s night race on the Marina Bay street circuit is a key fixture in the Formula One calendar, known for its tight corners and limited overtaking opportunities.
With the penalty, Russell will have to fight his way up the field in a race that is often dominated by a few front‑row cars.
The setback further dents his championship prospects, as he will need to recover positions and score points to remain in contention.
The race will take place on Sunday, with teams and fans hoping for a dramatic start to the weekend.
