Aston Martin drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll face grid penalties for Saturday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
It has been a miserable season for the Silverstone-based team and its debut campaign with power unit partner Honda.
Ahead of the race at the Baku City Circuit, Aston Martin currently languishes in 10th position in the constructors' championship of the 11 teams courtesy of the three points scored by Alonso - 10th in Monaco and ninth in the Netherlands.
Although there has been a slight improvement in performance in the PU following a recent upgrade from Honda, these are tough times for the squad.
For the race in Azerbaijan, Alonso will start with a new power unit and turbocharger, both the first over the allotted pool for each component, meaning a 20-place grid penalty.
As for Stroll, he will also take a new turbocharger, his sixth when only four are allowed. As it is a second TC penalty, the Canadian will serve a five-place grid penalty.
