The news that everyone was waiting for on the morning of the Hungarian Grand Prix, it finally arrived. Max Verstappen in fact, for the race which will start at 15.00 pm, it will mount a new power unit, but he won't be alone...
Verstappen, the third PU arrives
This decision undoubtedly arises from “no power” declared yesterday via a team radio by Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver, due to a total lack of power, he failed to record the time in the last Q3 stint and for this reason he will start from tenth place. “I still don't know what this problem is related to” – he declared the Dutch yesterday. The analyses, and the work carried out especially this morning on RB18, they brought the mechanics of Milton Keynes team to a change of power unit.
News also for Perez
Let's talk about the third unit mounted on the Dutchman's car, which therefore he will not face penalties this weekend, but the words that arrived this week from Helmut Marko they suggest that, even for Verstappen, the Grand Prix will come in which the penalty will be triggered. The same fate befell his teammate Perez. Also in fact, the Mexican has mounted the third power unit and will not receive penalties on the starting grid.
Changes also for AlphaTauri
New power unit also for Pierre gasly. The pilot of the AlphaTauri continues to experience a moment of great difficulty and, the new power unit mounted today, will lead him to sprint from the pit line(being the fourth). With this little news on starting grid, all we have to do is wait a little longer for the traffic lights to go out and enjoy the last Grand Prix before the summer break.
