Bottas disqualified from Silverstone qualifying – set to start British Grand Prix in P20
Valtteri Bottas ground to a halt at the end of the first segment of qualifying for the British Grand Prix – with more problems to come for the Finn after he was disqualified from qualifying post-session for failing to provide a sufficient fuel sample.
Relevant info:
But after the car was recovered to the pit lane, the FIA were unable to extract the stipulated one-litre fuel sample from the C43 machine, leading to Bottas being disqualified from proceedings – although the stewards have ruled that the two-time Silverstone pole-sitter can start the race in P20.

12Does this mean the reason he had to pull out in the first place was because he ran out of fuel?
9It had to be. There was almost nothing left in the car. I get the feeling the FIA wil be testing the car frequently for underfueling now. Looks a bit dodgy for Alfa

Technically this breaks the rules by stating Bottas' position, but I honestly can't think of a reasonable way of phrasing it that wouldn't make this obvious anyway.
