Stewards' reasoning
The penalty is imposed in accordance with Article B8.2.8 of the FIA F1 Regulations. The use of each additional element in this case carries a 10 grid place penalty therefore there is an accumulation of 20 places. Subject to Albon being classified in the results of Qualifying, Albon will be allocated a grid position in the Race in accordance with Article B2.5.4b.iv of the FIA F1 Regulations
