News: Belgian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton given 30-place grid penalty

Lewis Hamilton says he will try to limit the damage to his title hopes in Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix.

The defending champion made engine changes to his Mercedes in both practice sessions at Spa on Friday and has been given a 30-place grid penalty, which will only apply this weekend.

Hamilton has to use more than the permitted number of engine parts after problems early in the season.

“I feel OK. It is going to be an interesting Sunday,” said Hamilton.

“Getting into the top 10 probably won’t be the particularly hard thing; it’s going to be getting through there that is going to be the problem.”
