Change of engine components at Ferrari after Vettel’s breakdown

After the engine failure suffered Sebastian Vettel Friday in Free Practice 2 at Silverstone, Ferrari has changed several elements of the powertrain on board by the German, namely the internal combustion engine (ICE), the turbocharger, and the MGU-H. 

For safety reasons, the Scuderia made the same modifications to the car Charles Leclerc. None of the Maranello drivers face any sanction on the grid because the annual quotas (2 units per season for each part) have not yet been exceeded.
