Raikkonen set for Monza pit-lane start, Perez penalised

Raikkonen set for Monza pit-lane start, Perez penalised

Kimi Raikkonen will start the Italian Grand Prix from the pit-lane after Alfa Romeo changed his engine ahead of the race, with a similar switch dropping Sergio Perez to the back of the grid.

Raikkonen damaged his power unit in sliding into the barriers at Parabolica during Q3 at Monza on Saturday.

The new engine is of a different spec to the one he had fitted, meaning he must start from the pits due to breaking parc ferme rules.

Raikkonen also requires a change of gearbox.

Perez suffered an engine failure, his second in as many races, during Q1 and has reverted to a previous spec engine at Monza.
