Norris to start Belgian GP 10 places back after hybrid electronics change

Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lando Norris will start the Belgian Grand Prix 10 places further back than his qualifying position after being penalised for fitting an additional hybrid powertrain control electronics unit, exceeding the season limit. The penalty is a significant blow to his chances of a strong result at Spa. It is the latest in a series of grid penalties across the 2026 season.
