LEWIS HAMILTON is set to start Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix from the back of the grid after accepting an engine penalty. A Mercedes spokesperson said: “We will be fitting PU number four for this weekend for Lewis. “This is because although we are still working on the recovery plan for PU number three that was damaged in Spa, that unit cannot be run this weekend. “This will come with associated grid penalties as it’s in excess of the allocation for the season.”. His car sustained severe damage as a result of the 45G impact and Mercedes are still working on a plan to recover the issues.
