Romain Grosjean will start from the last row following a penalty
It was necessary to change Romain Grosjean's gearbox. Therefore, he receives a five-place penalty.
Romain Grosjean’s qualifying did not go as planned for the French driver: during his last lap of Q2, he was forced to park along the wall due to a technical problem, relegating him to 15th place on the grid.
After an investigation by its engineers, it was deemed necessary to change his gearbox, which results in five more places on the grid. The Frenchman will therefore start his last race with Lotus from the last row. His goal of finishing in the points seems increasingly complicated.
