CONFIRMED: The starting grid for the Japanese Grand Prix

The Japanese Grand Prix is just moments away, so let's take a look at the confirmed grid for the race shall we? If you watched qualifying (well done if you're UK based!), then you'll know that Sebastian Vettel took his first pole position since Canada with a scintillating lap, and that he was joined by Charles Leclerc on the front row, but how does the rest of the grid line up? Kevin Magnussen has a five place penalty for a new gearbox, but it won't affect his starting position, and if the Williams crew can fix Robert Kubica's car, he'll be starting from the pitlane. The grid:

1) Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari)
