Red Bull driver and driver overall leader Max Ferstappen will start from last position at Sunday's Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

The reason for this is the change of the Ferstappen engine.

Red Bull has decided to install a new powertrain in Ferstappen's car, and even before receiving the penalty, the Dutchman had already been punished by moving three positions due to the incident with Lewis Hamilton in the previous race.

Although they were aware that their driver would be punished, Red Bull had to react this way because after the collision last race, the Dutchman's engine was destroyed to the point that it could not be repaired. Before today's second training session, Ferstappen received a completely new unit.
