- The penalty is imposed in accordance with Article B8.2.8 of the FIA F1 Regulations. In this case, the use of the 6th ES and the 5th MGU-K additional elements each carries a 5 grid place penalty by virtue of Article B8.2.8b of the FIA F1 Regulations and the use of the 5th ICE, the 5th TC and 7th PU-ANC additional elements each carries a 10 grid place penalty by virtue of Article B8.2.8a of the FIA F1 Regulations. Therefore there is an accumulation of 40 places. Subject to Stroll being classified in the results of Qualifying, Stroll will be allocated a grid position in the Race in accordance with Article B2.5.4b.iv of the FIA F1 Regulations
