Lewis Hamilton has confirmed that he will be taking a grid penalty at this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.
Due to engine trouble early in the season, Hamilton was left on the back foot in terms of available engines compared to team-mate Nico Rosberg. At this stage it is undecided how many components Hamilton will change, which has in impact on how big his engine penalty will be, but the minimum penalty will be 10 places for using a sixth power unit component.
Hamilton currently has a 19 point lead at the top of the drivers standings over Rosberg. Although it originally looked as though Hamilton would take the penalty at Monza, the team have decided to take a penalty for Sunday's race at Spa.
