Ferrari's Charles Leclerc is set for a 10-place grid penalty in Saudi Arabia this weekend for exceeding his allocation of power unit control electronics, team boss Fred Vasseur said on Wednesday.
"I hope that now we have it under control. We have a deep analysis on this. Unfortunately, we'll have to take the penalty in Jeddah because we only have a pool of two control electronics for the season." Verstappen won the season-opener in Bahrain in a Red Bull one-two with Mexican Sergio Perez and they are favourites to win again on Sunday.
Vasseur has taken over from departed principal Mattia Binotto with the Italian team already on the back foot as they chase a first title since 2009.
