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.
