F1 News: Valtteri Bottas Faces Disqualification After British Qualifying

Valtteri Bottas faces a possible disqualification after the Great British qualifying today at Silverstone Circuit. This comes after the Alfa Romeo team failed to provide a fuel sample. 

The driver, who finished P15 in qualifying after a power unit issue, will likely be disqualified from qualifying, leaving him starting from the back of the grid. This will put Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who didn't reach Q2, in P15.

The driver's penalty is yet to be confirmed by the FIA, but this is usually the result of this issue.
