Four drivers face grid penalties for Sunday's United States Grand Prix after taking on new engine components.

The FIA's 'simplification' of the penalties process will be put to the test later today, as four drivers face grid penalties.

Yesterday it was confirmed that Sergio Perez and Guanyu Zhou faced drops of 5 places after taking on new internal combustion engines (ICE), in both case their fifth of the season.

Today it was confirmed that Fernando Alonso has also taken on a new ICE, his sixth of the season, while Charles Leclerc also has a new ICE and turbocharger, and therefore faces a 10-place drop.

Despite the FIA's tweaking of the penalty application process, based on its current form we expect the grid to be confirmed on Tuesday.

"We know the rules and the impacts… one can actually build a spreadsheet that will automatically confirm grid spots in moments… and this is the same FIA as the one auditing all ten teams… Someone send the FIA Twitter/Instagram accounts a picture of a Mung Bean, and a right hand held open… Then the FIA will have all they need to know what a bean looks like, and have five fingers on which to count them… We can send them the memo on removing socks to count to twenty next week…"
