A number of grid penalties has changed the starting grid for the Canadian Grand Prix.
Daniil Kvyat and Marcus Ericsson were hit with grid penalties after clashes at the previous race in Monaco. The Toro Rosso driver drops just two places, despite a three-place grid penalty, because team-mate Carlos Sainz received a penalty for changing his gearbox after Kvyat's penalty was registered, therefore gaining a position.
Ericsson drops to 21st, also gaining a position thanks to a gearbox and chassis change for Renault's Kevin Magnussen. The Dane will start from the pitland following his final practice crash, which rules him out of qualifying.
