Norris benefits
Before the race in Baku: Bitter penalty for Hamilton!
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has been penalized ahead of the race in Baku (1pm) and must now start from the pit lane. Lando Norris also benefits from this, making up the next place before the start of the race.
Mercedes has already installed the fifth combustion engine of the season in Hamilton's car. However, only four are allowed per season, otherwise there is a penalty. The record Formula 1 world champion must therefore now start the race from the pit lane, as confirmed by the FIA.
Originally in seventh place, the Briton slipped to the back of the grid, which pleased McLaren driver Norris in particular. After a completely botched qualifying session, the Briton only finished 17th, but as Pierre Gasly had already been penalized and now Hamilton too, Norris now moves up two places.
