BAKU, Azerbaijan — Lewis Hamilton is set to start Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix from the pit lane after a new engine was fitted to his Mercedes overnight.

Hamilton was always likely to exceed his engine quota this year after suffering a failure during the Australian Grand Prix.
Ahead of Sunday’s race in Baku, Mercedes fitted a new engine, turbocharger, MGU-H and MGU-K to his car.
Each driver is limited to the number of engine components they can use during the season as part of a cost saving measure within the sporting regulations.
The rule means a failure during a race usually results in a penalty later in the season, with teams often targeting engine changes at races where overtaking is easier, such as Azerbaijan.
Ocon had qualified last on the grid, meaning the engine change has very little impact on his likely race outcome.
