Sao Paulo Grand Prix: Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to have grid penalties

Max Verstappen and Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will all face grid penalties for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Verstappen will start from the back after Red Bull identified engine issues following Friday practice and fitted an all-new power unit. Hamilton and Leclerc each receive 10-place penalties because it is the first time they have exceeded the season limit of four internal combustion engines; Mercedes’ George Russell also has a penalty for using too many engine parts but drops five places. Rain is forecast overnight into race day. Separately, F1 confirmed Interlagos’ contract extension through 2035.
