Current F1 rules state that drivers are permitted fღour gearboxes throughout the entire 23-race season.

Both Red Bull’s Vers🌠tappen and Ferrari’s Leclerc have already move♊d onto their third gearbox in advance of the Miami Grand Prix, the fifth round of the 2023 season.

Verstappen has been frustrated with his gearboxes this second, optin🍸g t🐬o move onto his second after being unsatisfied at the opening two grands prix.

Leclerc moved onto 🏅a new gearbox at the start of the weekend, but following his crash in qualifying was forced to again take his third of the season.

Leclerc served a 10-place grid penalty in Saudi Arabia, the second round, when he took his  third Control Electronics of the year, with only two permiꦫtted.

For Ferrari driver Lec🅠lerc this will be a cꦇoncern about his team’s ability to deliver a reliable and competitive car.

For Verstappen a potential grid penalty down the line could impact the title fight with 𒆙his teammate Sergio Perez.
