Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad and Franco Colapinto will all take grid penalties at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia after exceeding their power unit allocations.

Hadjar has fitted a seventh internal combustion engine of the season, despite only four being permitted. As he had already exceeded the allocation previously, he will receive a five-place grid penalty.

Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad has taken a fifth internal combustion engine, a fifth turbocharger and a fifth exhaust system. His combined penalties amount to 30 places, meaning he will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid.

Colapinto already had a five-place penalty carried over from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix following his collision with Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris. He has now also taken a fifth internal combustion engine, resulting in an additional 10-place penalty.

The Argentine will therefore face a total 15-place grid drop at Sepang.
