Spanish GP: Final starting grid after Vettel and Vergne penalties

Grid penalties for Sebastian Vettel and Jean-Eric Vergne mean slight changes to the Spanish Grand Prix starting order after qualifying

A gearbox penalty for Vettel and Red Bull means the four-time F1 world champion will now start Sunday's race from 15th on the grid having been demoted five places.

Vergne, meanwhile, now lines up on the final row of the grid alongside Pastor Maldonado.

The Toro Rosso driver was handed a 10-place grid penalty after a right rear wheel came off his car during free practice on Friday.

Vergne starts ahead of Maldonado due to the Venezuelan having not set a time during qualifying thanks to his crash early in Q1.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg start from the front row, while an in-form Daniel Ricciardo claimed third for Red Bull.

Revised grid:
