Kimi Raikkonen will drop to 16th on the grid at the Belgian Grand Prix after taking a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change.
Raikkonen qualified 14th after his car stopped on track in Q2, but will only lose two places due to penalties applied to other cars behind him. Although it seems like the Ferrari driver is serving less than half of his penalty, Roberto Mehri, Max Verstappen and the two McLaren drivers will start behind him.
The grid penalty system works implementing the full severity of the penalty on an imaginary endless grid, so in Alonso and Button's case their combined 55 and 50-place penalties dropped them to 73rd and 67th place respectively. Verstappen dropped from 15th to 25th and Raikkonen dropped from 14th to 19th with Mehri remaining in the 20th position he qualified in. The extended grid is then closed up so Alonso's 73rd place becomes 20th on the grid, Button's 67th becomes 19th, Verstappen's 25th becomes 18th and Mehri's 20th becomes 17th. Raikkonen, therefore, starts 16th.
