Red Bull makes penalty-free engine change on Max Verstappen's Red Bull F1 car.
The reigning world champion will not face a grid drop for the change because Red Bull have reverted to another engine from Verstappen’s pool “as a result of intake air circuit leakage which could not be thoroughly resolved”.
"It'll be alright . I never really had a good run. I did four or five laps in total and that's even with some long run laps in it. So a day to forget.” Verstappen holds a 57-point lead over McLaren’s Lando Norris in the drivers’ championship with five rounds remaining this season. Speaking about Verstappen’s pool of permitted components for the rest of the year, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said on Friday: “I don't think you're ever safe, as we've just seen in the last session.
“But hopefully, that's just a small issue. I think it's something probably more of a question for our engine partner as to how comfortable they feel getting to the end of the year. But you're always on the limit.”Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox
