Starting grid - Italy 2014 - Kvyat takes the first power unit penalty of the season
Published by Christine
Daniil Kvyat has the biggest penalty this weekend after Toro Rosso changed the engine on his car on Friday night. It was his sixth power unit of the season, which means he crosses the long-life component regulation of only five being allowed. A ten place grid drop follows.
Also, in final practice, Marcus Ericsson was found to have not slowed down under yellow flag conditions, and as he qualified last, the stewards have imposed an enforced start from the pit lane rather than a grid drop, which would have no effect.
