The FIA have confirmed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen will take a five-place grid penalty for today’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix after taking a new ICE engine compon🦹ent.

It mean🦋s Verstappen won’t start any higher than sixth on the grid for Sunday’s grand prix at Interlagos.

Bad weather on Saturday meant qu﷽alifying was postponed until Sunday. A rearranged timetable on Sunday features quꦜalifying followed by the grand prix.

But Verstappen's title battle with McLaren's Lando Norris has tꦺaken a setback with his penalty in Brazil.

The good news for Verstappen is 😼that𝐆 it’s only a five-place grid penalty.

It’s🌳 his sixth ICE component of the year - he took his fifth at Spa, which resulted in a 10-place grid penalty.

In the FIA press conference on Thursday in Sao Paulo, Verstappen admitted an engine penalty was inevitable heading into the final 🗹stretch of the campaign.

He said: “I haven't heard anything yet. It's not discussed, bౠut I know that I will have to take one at some point. So we'll see.”

New floor for Perez

On the other side of the garage, Red Bull have changed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez’s chassis.

Perez endured a nightmare weekend in Mexico City.

He was knocked out in Q1 before finishing 17th (last) on hom🧸e ౠsoil.

As quoted by The Race, ch♔ief engineer Paul Monaghan confirmed Perez will use a different chassis.

He said: “We've changed him back into a different chassi💦s. He asked if weꦑ can: yeah, fine, OK.

“The boys got a bit of wꦓork but they didn't mind so there ꦓwe go.”

Perez will also run a slightly different floor ✃to Verstappen.

“Checo is on a different edge specificat♕ion from Max,” Monaghan added.

“If you look at the edge wing its🅷elf it's🍒 subtly different. It's a small difference.

“The magnitude is, I would arg🃏ue, small enough that it's not going to cause him to have a significant difference to Max.

“We've done it like that purely and simply because😼 it's the best way to service two cars and ensure that we can ♊service them fairly with spares.”
