Jenson Button expects to take a drive-through penalty in the Canadian Grand Prix, in addition to starting from the back of the grid.
Button said on Twitter: "Tough day today but we'll stay strong even though I'll be starting last with a drive through penalty to take!"
Although there has been no formal confirmation from the team, this suggests that Button has taken fifth engine elements after the failure in FP3 that kept him out of qualifying. Prior to Saturday's qualifying session, Button was on his fourth MGU-H and fourth turbo. By taking the fifth examples of each he will get a 10-place penalty for the first, and a five-place penalty for the second.
Because he is at the back of the grid, Button cannot fulfil the 15-place penalty. Under the FIA rules for failing to take 10-15 places, he will have to do a drive through during the race.
Max Verstappen is in a slightly different situation for Sunday's race as he faces a 10-second penalty during the race.
