Max Verstappen is set to take the start of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in 17th place, with Lando Norris on pole position.
Verstappen was eliminated in Q2 after a poorly timed red flag, and with his engine penalty, will line-up towards the back of the field.
However, with one-quarter of the pack crashing during the session, there may well be further changes to the starting grid if drivers opt to take pit lane starts.
Carlos Sainz will start from the pit lane after taking on an entirely new power unit, while Alex Albon will fail to take the start.
