The Mexican weekend has just started Yuki tsunoda et Lance stroll already know they are condemned to start from the back of the grid on Sunday
The cause is not surprising since it involves the introduction of new driving elements, beyond the authorized annual quotas.
The pilot Alpha Tauri has in fact received a 4th Honda internal combustion engine, as well as a 4th turbocharger, a 4th MGU-H, and a 4th MGU-K.
The runner Aston Martin, for its part, will use a 4th ICE Mercedes, as well as a 4th turbo, a 4th MGU-H, and a 3rd electronic control.
As a reminder, the annual allocation for each driver consists of 3 ICE, 3 MGU-H, 3 MGU-K, 3 turbocharger, 2 batteries, and 2 electronic controls.
The first time the limit is exceeded for any subsequent item, it must move back 10 places. The second time the limit is exceeded for any following element, he will have to move back 5 places. And so on. Any driver reaching 15 penalty places will automatically start at the back of the grid.
