The provisional Russian GP grid

Daniil Kvyat will start his home race, theRussian Grand Prix, from the very back of the grid after incurring multiple power unit penalties.

The Russian driver arrived at the Sochi circuit aware that penalties awaited, however, it went from bad to worse as a fuel system problem in Friday’s practice as well as an engine issue in Saturday’s final practice meant he was also short of track time.

Kvyat will line up P19 with Robert Kubica in 18th place as the Pole also has multiple engine penalties.

Other drivers penalisedincluded Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly and Alexander Albon, all engine related.

They will start P9, 16 and from the pit lane respectively withCharles Leclerc on pole position for the fourth race in a row.
