Si Pierre Gasly (Toro Rosso) will thus start at the back of the peloton, his compatriot Romain Grosjean (Haas) will have better hopes starting from 8th place.

The weather is expected to remain dry and teams are expected to adopt a one-stop strategy. However, Mercedes will evolve on a different strategy since its two W10s will start on medium tires unlike the rest of the first part of the peloton.
