Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz look set for F1 grid penalties at the ItalianGP with powertrain changes 📉 Here's the full story ⬇️
Two weeks after taking a fully new power unit in Belgium, Red Bull has decided to add a new internal combustion engine to Verstappen's engine pool, incurring a five-place penalty for Sunday's Italian Grand Prix.
As it is the first time Perez has exceeded his allowance of three ICEs, he will take a 10-place grid penalty. Perez has also taken his fourth gearbox, which is still within limits. In recent races Ferrari has staggered its engine penalties, however, and so Sainz's penalty could yet be converted into a back of the grid start if Ferrari opts to replace more parts.Either way Sainz will be joined at the rear by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, who has also taken a fourth power unit of the season, as was announced on Thursday.
in Zandvoort last week, where he was penalised for driving to the pits with his seatbelts loosened after he stopped on track.
