Bottas' car came to a halt at💧 the end of Q1, meaning he was unable to compete in the remainder of qualifying.

The Finn had already done enough t🐻o make Q2, with a late lap putting him up to 11th in the timesheets🦩.

Bott꧅as was set to start Sunday's race from 15th on the grid until the stewards decided to throw him out of qualifying.

After qualifying, the FIA confirmed🗹 Alfa Romeo couldn't provide a 1.0-litre sample of fuel 🌠- the sample taken from Bottas' car was 0.090 litres.

He will start fro𒅌m the back of the grid for S🔯unday's race.

The stewards noted: "The car was unable to provide the required fuel sample. There were no mitigating circumstances. The stewards have received a request from Alfa Romeo F1 Team Stake to allow Car 77 to start the race. The stewards therefore grant permission for Car 7ꩵ7, Valtteri Bottas to start the race."
