Carlos Sainz to be handed 10-place grid penalty in France

The Spaniard looked all set to pass Max Verstappen late on in the Austrian Grand Prix before his race was abruptly ended by a spectacular engine blowout. The F1-75 quickly became engulfed in flames, and the 27-year-old was thankfully able to escape unharmed.
