Penalties in Monza also for Verstappen, Sainz and Perez

formula 1

The leader in the classification of the F1 championship, Max Verstappen, will lose five starting places before Sunday's race due to the use of an additional engine, and in addition to Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez will also serve penalties in the race. Verstappen already used a completely new engine in the race in Belgium, where he started the race from fifteenth place, but due to the great advantage of the Red Bull racing car on the flats, the team decided to add another engine to the stock in Monza, because the upcoming races in Singapore and Japan do not allow such an easy breakthrough from the background. As expected, the additional fourth engine was used by Perez, who will thus lose ten places, and in Monza the Mexican will use a new, fourth gearbox, which will not bring him a penalty. The Spaniards will start Ferrari's home race from the very beginning

Mercedes aren't entirely sure they want to return the unit to the range of engines Hamilton could still use, so they'll replace some powertrain components at Monza, where it's easier to make up lost places. Unofficially, a change of drive elements is also expected at Red Bull, where Sergio Perez needs an additional engine until the end of the season, so the Mexican would
