The teams have decided to change a lot of elements on their single-seaters for this resumption of the 2022 season. Formula 1 at the Belgian Grand Prix. The championship leaders are affected by these numerous changes, Max Verstappen et Charles Leclerc are thus relegated to the back of the grid. The Dutchman will thus bring a fourth ICE (internal combustion engine), a fourth turbo, a fourth MGU-H, a fourth MGU-K and a fifth gearbox transmission. Charles Leclerc changes his MGU-K, his ES and his gearbox on his Ferrari.
However, both drivers could avoid the last row of the starting grid on Sunday. Lando Norris (McLaren), Esteban Ocon (Alpine), Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) and Mick Schumacher (Haas) are in fact also relegated to the back of the pack. Everyone will decide between themselves during the qualifying session on Saturday to determine their position at the start of the race. The Dutchman and the Monegasque should therefore be able to start higher than the 19th and 20th places.
