The starting grid for the Italian Grand Prix will look quite different from the order in which the drivers finished qualifying, with a raft of grid penalties having been handed out.
Saturday's fastest man Charles Leclerc will start from pole position, with George Russell alongside him on the front row, and the McLarens of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo third and fourth.
Max Verstappen finished Q3 in second place, but drops to seventh after his penalty.
Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez has a 10-place grid drop and starts 13th, while penalties for Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton see that duo line up 18th and 19th on the grid.
The starting grid below is provisional until confirmed by F1's governing body, the FIA.
