Red Bull and Toro Rosso drivers to take penalties in Sochi!

All four Honda powered cars will suffer grid penalties this weekend for the Russian Grand Prix as they will all receive a new internal combustion engine.

Red Bull duo Max Verstappen and Alex Albon, along with Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly, will take only five-place grid penalties as they will only take the new engine.

On the other hand, Daniil Kvyat will likely start from the back of the grid, as all the elements of his power unit have been changed for this weekend.

This change will give the team low-mileage on their engines before Honda's home Japanese Grand Prix, where they really want to impress their home crowd.
