The Red Bull driver is however 109 points clear at the top of the drivers’ standings and is red-hot favourite to claim his second straight world title.

He is one of six drivers to be hit with grid penalties alongside teammate Sergio Perez — who drops back 10 places for a similar offence — seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, Valtteri Bottas and Yuki Tsunoda.

Mercedes driver Hamilton will start from the back of the grid for a power unit change and other engine infractions, as will Tsunoda who after already being dropped back 10 places was hit with power unit sanctions.

Sainz was hit with a 25-place penalty for new gearbox components but will start in front of Hamilton and Tsunoda, while breaking engine rules leaves Bottas 15 places down.
