Lando Norris to start from back after grid penalty at Belgian GP

Lando Norris will incur a 10-place grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix after McLaren fitted his car with a fourth power electronics unit, exceeding the allowed allocation. The decision to install the new unit comes after reliability issues earlier in the season, including failures at the Chinese and Monaco Grands Prix. McLaren hopes the overtaking-friendly layout of Spa-Francorchamps will mitigate any disadvantages from the penalty, allowing Norris to recover positions during the race. Norris currently sits fifth in the Drivers' Championship with 97 points, looking to improve as the weekend unfolds.
