Nine drivers have been hit with grid penalties for Sunday's race at Monza, sparking confusion amongst the teams, media and the fans following qualifying as to where they would line up.

Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen, Mick Schumacher, Valtteri Bottas, Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon were all forced to take power unit penalties, leading to a reshuffle of the order below Leclerc.

Italian GP penalties

Max Verstappen [Red Bull] - five places

Esteban Ocon [Alpine] - five places

Sergio Perez [Red Bull] - 10 places

Valtteri Bottas [Alfa Romeo] - 15 places
