168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is set to take a grid penalty at this weekend’s F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Tꦛhat is according to Red Bull’s motorsport advisor Helmut Marko, who seemingly confirmed Verstappen will need to change his engine and trigger a grid drop in Brazil this weekend.

Verstappen, who took a🐈 grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix after moving onto his fifth power unit of the season, looks set for more penalty pain at Interlagos after engine issues thwarted his Friday in Mexico City last weekend.

“Verstappen’s Mexico weekend got off to a bad start on Friday with a leak in the engine♑’s in😼take tract,” Marko said in his regular Speedweek column.

“A🐲s a result, Max was unable to drive in both the first and second practice sessions.

“The lack of driving time is part of the reason why😼 we were not competitive in ꦓthe race, especially with the hard tyres.

“We had the fifth-fastest car ꦆbehind the two Ferraris and the McLaren. On the mediu🍸m Pirelli we were still halfway there, but with both compounds, the tyre wear was worse than that of our competitors.

“The pace was also not good because, due to the aforementioned engine problem, a different power unit had to be fitted that had reached the end of its cycle and was not actually plan🐈ned for racing at all.

“That was one of the reasons why we were one of the slowest cars on the straights. When a Formula 1 e𝓰ngine has reached a certain number of kilometers, the loss of power is clearly noticeable.

“We are currently investigating whether we could use the engine with ﷽the leak again. But here, too, the mileage means that it is no longer i𝄹ntended to be used.

“All this means that we cannot avoid c🔴hanging the engine in Braꦐzil, with a corresponding penalty.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner addressed the possibility of a future grid penaltᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy last time out in Mexico.

"I don't think you're ever safe, as we had just seen in the last session [FP1], but hopefully, that's just a sꦅmall issue,” he said.

“I think it's something, probably more of a question for our engine partner [🅰Honda] as to how comfortable they feel getting to the end of the year. But you're alwa൩ys always on the limit.”

It would mark a blow for Verstappen, who saw his championship lead over168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris shrink to 47 poin🔴ts with four races remaining after he was hit with a 20-second pe🐽nalty and finished sixth in Mexico.
