Vandoorne to start last after MGU-H change

Stoffel Vandoorne is set to start the United States Grand Prix from the back of the grid after another penalty was handed his way. Following a last minute power unit change by Honda, the Belgian's grid penalty now sits at 30.

Honda discovered an MGU-H issue before the start of the race and decided to replace the component. Added to the 25 places he was originally set to drop, Vandoorne will share the back row with debutant Brendon Hartley, who will now start from nineteenth.
