F1’s stewards have🎶 also given a three-place grid penalty to Valtteri Bottas, who ignored single waved yellow flags.

Yellow flags were waved during the final hot laps of Q3 when Pierr🤡e Gasly’s stricken AlphaTauri came to a stop after losing his front wing an♋d picking up a puncture after running over the Turn 15 kerbs. 

Verstappen improved his time on his final lap, but Bottas and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz did not.🔯 

As well as picking up a five-place grid penalty, Verstap📖pen has also received two penalty points on his licence, moving him onto four for the 12-month pe♉riod. 

Red Bull argued that as the light panel was not displayed and had been turned off that Verstappen should have avoided a penalty, but💎 the team also failed to warn him about the situation. 

While the stewards’ noted they had “sympathy” for Verstappen, they concl๊uded it is down to the driver to take action and believe they had “no option but to impose the standard penalty”. 

Bottas admitted he did not notice 𒉰the yellow flag and that he failed to reduce speed as required. 

Unlike Verstappen and Bottas, Sainz has escaped a penalty af🙈ter he “made a significant reduction in speed i༒n the relevant mini-sector”. 

The penalties promote Gasly - who caused the yel♎low flags - onto 🌄the front row of the grid alongside Lewis Hamilton, who qualified on pole. 

Alpine’s Fernando Alonso will line up third, ahead of Lando Norris’ McLaren, with Bottas and Sainz starting fifth and six🌳th. 

Verstappen, who goes into the race holding a ꦛ14-point championship advantage over title rival Hamilton, will go from seventh.
