Stoffel Vandoorne has been the unlucky recipient of yet more grid drops related to power unit changes. The McLaren driver was penalised a hefty drop at the last race, and in Spain faces a ten place drop as well. He qualified second from last, which means it isn't too big a deal to drop to the rear of the field, but it still must be demoralising.

Out front, there is no change at the top with Lewis Hamilton retaining his pole position and Sebastian Vettel ready for the challenge, lining up alongside the Mercedes on the front row.
