10:08 – Ferrari is hopeful of avoiding power unit-related penalties over the second half of the season, despite both its drivers being on the limit with Turbochargers.
Under current regulations, drivers are allowed to use four of each of the six elements that make up the power unit, of which the Turbocharger is one, prior to grid penalties.
As soon as a fifth element is used, a 10-place grid penalty will be imposed, with a five-place drop applied the first time a fifth of any of the remaining elements is used.
After early-season failures, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen are already on their fourth Turbochargers, with nine rounds to run, putting them in a precarious position.
