What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Valtteri Bottas incurred a 50-place grid penalty for the Mexico City Grand Prix after Cadillac changed various power unit elements on his car. Bottas breached the season limit five times, taking a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, energy store, control electronics unit, and motor generator unit–kinetic. This cumulative penalty means he will start the race from the back of the field.
