Sainz and Albon to start at back of grid in Austria

Sainz will have Renault’s latest specification power unit, incurring an automatic grid drop for exceeding his allocation.

McLaren, fourth overall and eight points ahead of engine provider Renault’s works team in the standings after eight races, had opted not to make the change and incur penalties in France last weekend.

It is a shame for the Spaniard who is enjoying good form with a revitalised McLaren, ending FP2 today fifth fastest and Best of the Rest as he wqas in the morning session.

Stewards said Albon will also start at the back as a result of an engine change.
