Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will start the Italian Grand Prix in Monza at the back because of a grid penalty for using too many engine parts.
Hamilton has been given his fourth power unit of the season – one more than is permitted by F1.
The seven-time champion’s brand-new third engine was damaged when he crashed into Alpine’s Fernando Alonso at the Belgian Grand Prix.
The third engine needed repairs after Hamilton continued after his first-lap incident with Alonso with fluids leaking out of the car, before being ordered to stop on track half a lap later.
Mercedes say they are still working out a recovery plan for the engine.
This almost certainly rules Lewis Hamilton out of the title challenge for the race at Monza, which gives him one less race to contend in to retain his record of being the only driver in F1 history to win a grand prix in every season of his career.
