New engine and penalty for Albon and Kvyat

The Belgian Grand Prix has not only startedAlexander albon (Red Bull) and Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso) received bad news. Both drivers are certain they will have to start from the back of the grid on Sunday due to an engine change.

 

The engine manufacturer Honda has brought an evolution of its V6 Turbo hybrid unit, called “Spec 4”. “As always, we focused on reliability and performance,” explains Honda F1 Technical Director Toyoharu Tanabe. For strategic reasons, only Albon and Kvyat will benefit. »

Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Pierre Gasly (Toro Rosso) will compete in the Ardennes with the old version of the engine, before probably adopting the Spec 4 at the Italian Grand Prix (September 6-8).
