British Grand Prix: Starting grid with penalties applied

George Russell and Sergio Perez have both been hit with penalties for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Williams driver Russell finished ninth in F1's inaugural sprint race on Saturday but was hit with a three-place penalty for an opening-lap collision with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.

As for Red Bull's Perez, the Mexican slid off track on turn six which resulted in him dropping to the back of the pack before the team retired the car with a lap remaining of the 17-lap event.

Perez, whose RB16B has been fitted with a new energy store and control electronics unit, was due to start at the back of the grid.

But under parc fermé conditions, the car also has a new rear-wing assembly, while changes have also been made to the set up of the suspension and to the cooling of the front brakes, so now necessitating a pitlane start.
