Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Rosberg leads with 106 points; Hamilton has moved back into second with 82 points. Ricciardo is third with 66 points, one ahead of Räikkönen.
Previous race
Hamilton won Monaco after a pivotal pit-stop error handed him the lead from Ricciardo, who had been dominant all weekend and held the first pole position of his career. Ricciardo was forced to wait over ten seconds in the pits while mechanics fetched the wrong set of tyres. Sergio Pérez completed the podium for Force India.
Penalties
Daniil Kvyat carries a three-place grid penalty for causing an avoidable accident with Magnussen during the Monaco Grand Prix. Marcus Ericsson also carries a three-place penalty for the collision with his Sauber teammate Felipe Nasr at Rascasse corner in Monaco.
Milestones
This is the 100th race start for Force India driver Sergio Pérez.
Tyres
Pirelli brings the soft, super-soft and ultrasoft compounds. Renault and Haas have taken radical tyre allocation strategies, avoiding the super-soft compound entirely.
Entrants
Renault has prepared a brand new R.S.16 chassis for Jolyon Palmer after he heavily damaged his car in a Monaco crash.
