Starting grid - Belgian Grand Prix 2015 - Engine and gearbox penalties dominate in Spa

Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso between them have racked up grid drops of over 100 places, despite the fact they qualified last on the grid anyway. They are joined by Romain Grosjean and Kimi Räikkönen who both have changed their gearboxes and thus drop five places, as well as Max Verstsappen who suffers the ten place drop due to an engine change.

Up front, the Mercedes duo retain their front row grid slots unharmed, with Valtteri Bottas hoping to do some damage from third place, and Sergio Pérez looking to impress from fourth.
