Fourth F1 driver consigned to Belgian GP pit-lane start after penalty

Carlos Sainz has become the fourth F1 driver to be consigned to a pit-lane start in the Belgian Grand Prix. Due to start 15th, Sainz has been relegated to a pit-lane start following Williams' decision to change the mechanical and aerodynamic set-up of his FW47.  This is in anticipation of the expected wet conditions at Spa, with heavy rain forcing the cancellation of the F3 race, with the F2 one taking place in heavy rain.  Sainz joins Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and Kimi Antonelli in the pit-lane, the other three all taking engine penalties.  Hamilton has also changed the suspension set-up of his car outside of parc ferme regulations, which would have triggered the pit-lane start had the engine penalties not been taken.  For the full adjusted starting grid, click here!
