MEXICO CITY -- McLaren drivers Fernando Alonso and Stoffel Vandoorne are both set to start at the rear end of the Mexican Grand Prix after Honda engine component changes.
In what has become a regular theme of McLaren's partnership with Honda, which will come to a premature end after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, its drivers enter a weekend with huge penalties hanging over their heads. The team has reached double figures on components drivers can use just four of in a season before incurring penalties.
Its most recent batch of changes were confirmed moments before the start of Friday practice.
