Since its introduction to th🍌e F1 calendar in 2014, Mercede🔜s has been unbeatable, winning every race.
Max Verstappen has a three-place grid penalty for this weekend after his collision with Lewis Hamilton, so 💎Red Bull might dec☂ide to give him a fresh power unit and start him from the back of the grid.
That's the case with Ferrari, with Cဣharles Leclerc starting Sunday's race from the back due to engine penalties.
