It has been decided that Lewis Hamilton will slide down the grid at Monza. The reigning world champion extended his lead in the 2016 standings recently, but insisted he still doesn't feel like the true leader because he is running short on engines.
"It's still not enough because I'm not a race win ahead yet," he said. "I hope I'll be able to get a race win ahead and then I'll feel like I am ahead." He will get the chance to do just that at Spa this weekend, before taking a fresh Mercedes engine and a subsequent grid penalty at Monza a week later, according to Russia's Sportbox. "Why Monza? Because we want to minimise the impact of the penalty and it's easier to overtake there," said team boss Toto Wolff. (GMM)

It was bound to happen. The questions now are: Will Rosberg be able to use this to his advantage, and will Hamilton need to take more penalties. Im not sure about the earlier, but I personally think Hamilton will need at least one more unit.

i think he can get more then 1 new engine in 1 race as did RB or McLaren last year and get basically 1 penalty
