Five engine penalties reshape 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix starting grid

George Russell Max Verstappen

Five drivers, including George Russell, Max Verstappen, and both Ferraris, take engine penalties, reshuffling the 2026 Brazilian Grand Prix grid at Interlagos. Lando Norris starts on pole.

How the sources differ

Crash.net lists the full grid, The Race names the penalized drivers, Motorsport.com provides the top order, and PlanetF1 explains the penalty impact. No official FIA document is present, so the penalty details rely on media reports.

Recommended first read: The Race names all penalized drivers and is concise, with an image, making it the most informative non-paywalled option.
