The Mexican Sergio 'Checo' Pérez (Red Bull) and the Canadian Nicholas Latifi (Williams) will start the Formula 1 Netherlands Grand Prix from the 'pit lane' this Sunday, after changes in their cars before the race.
Red Bull took advantage of Pérez's poor classification (16th) to offer him a new engine without the penalty being very costly.
Ranked 14th but victim of a crash, Latifi changed his gearbox and front wing.

The previous
Verstappen, 23, signed his tenth pole in the premier class, the seventh of the season, shining before his audience, who dyed the grandstands of a circuit in which F1 had not raced for 36 years, the age of his antagonist.
'Mad Max' flew over the 4,259 meters of the narrow and undulating Dutch track, which this Sunday, in the absence of misfortunes, will take 72 laps.
He turned in 1m08s885, invested only 38 thousandths less than 'Sir Lewis' and will start first in a race in which his Mexican teammate Sergio Pérez will face from the sixteenth place.
The other Mercedes, that of the Finnish Valtteri Bottas, will start third, alongside Frenchman Pierre Gasly (Alpha Tauri), in the second row.
Ahead of the Ferraris of the Monegasque Charles Leclerc - fifth in qualifying - and Sainz;
that, after having an accident in the morning in the last training session, he masterfully faced a qualification that he considered "mentally the toughest" of his entire career, on an 'old school' circuit, with many banked curves.
It was to be expected that the Polish Robert Kubica, who had not faced a Grand Prix since 2019 and who this Saturday got into the Alfa Romeo to replace the Finnish Kimi Raikkonen -positive for covid-19, who on Wednesday had announced that at the end of the course will retire from F1- be eliminated in the first round (Q1) of qualifying.
But what nobody counted on was the fall, at the first turn, of the Mexican Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) and the quadruple German world champion Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin).
Englishman Lando Norris (McLaren) and Canadian Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) fell in Q2, in which Verstappen scored the best set, three tenths ahead of Leclerc;
and in which the red flag was waved twice.
The first, after the accident between turns 13 and 14 of the Englishman George Russell, who suffered no damage and returned his Williams to the track, but was eliminated.
And the second, by his Canadian teammate Nicholas Latifi in the seventh, who anticipated the end, with a minute and a half to go, of the round.
Latifi's mishap delayed the start of Q3, to which Sainz and Alonso had agreed with the seventh and ninth time, respectively;
and to which he passed, for the second time this year - he also did it in Monaco - the Italian Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo).
That the day ended in seventh position.
The top ten chose to start on the soft tire, setting their best times in the second act.
Verstappen aims for the leadership and, incidentally, to succeed in the history of the Grand Prix of his country the legendary Austrian Niki Lauda, triple world champion and who in 1985 signed in Zandvoort the twenty-fifth and last victory of his brilliant and spectacular career in Formula One.
That day, the Viennese genius won ahead of two other myths of the premier class: the French Alain Prost - with whom Lauda signed a McLaren 'double' and that that year he would end up capturing the first of his four crowns - and the Brazilian Ayrton Senna.
All three took a historic podium, exchangeable for ten world titles.
