The change behind them comes from a five-place grid penalty for Isack Hadjar. BBC Sport reports that the penalty will promote Kimi Antonelli to third on the starting grid. [2]
Hadjar was third-fastest in qualifying, with Antonelli fourth, 0.501 seconds off Verstappen’s pole lap. Their qualifying positions will therefore differ from their starting positions. [2]
