BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas will have a five place grid penalty at Formula One's next race in Belgium after the Finn triggered chaos and collisions on the opening lap of Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The race was halted after Bottas braked late and hit the back of Lando Norris's McLaren, which then smashed into the side of Formula One leader Max Verstappen's Red Bull and wrecked the race for both.
