Mercedes confirm Abu Dhabi grid drop for Bottas

VB will end the season with some overtaking!

Valtteri Bottas will start the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from the back of the grid, with Mercedes having introduced new engine parts for the 2019 season-closer.

Bottas will take a new engine, turbo and MGU-H at the Yas Marina Circuit.

The Finn retired from the Brazilian GP last time out with an engine problem - his first mechanical retirement of 2019.
