Pierre Gasly was hit with a staggering 50-place grid penalty for the F1 British Grand Prix꧙.

The Alpine driver was beenᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ punished with five separate 10-place grid penalties.

Gasly had exceeded his annual allocation of power unit components, resulting in the penalty f♏or Silvers🍌tone.

He was due to start at the back 🐼of the starting grid for 💎the race, with Sergio Perez to start from the pitlane. 

But a last-gasp issue with Gasly's car meant he went into the pits, leaving just 18 cars on the start🔴ing grid. Gasly did𓄧 not even get started, his race going from bad to worse.

Gasly's penalty was because he breached his limit of four by taking on a new Internal Combustion E🐽ngine (ICE), Turbocharger (TC), Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H) and Motor Generator Unit-Kinetic (MGU-K) for the British Grand Prix.

A 10-place grid penalty was imposed for eaಌchꩵ of those five components.

Gaꦛsly’s huge penalty brings back memories of Jenson Button in Mexico nine years a൲go.

McLaren driver Button had a 70-place grid penalty imposed - the result of 🏅five separate penalties, all relating to h🎀is engine.

Separately, McLaren wer▨e hit with a combined 55-place grid penalty for their two drivers in Belgium in 2015.

Button was handed a 25-place drop for four separate engine rule-breaks. Teammate Fernando Alonso was demo꧙ted 30 places for a similar series of offences.

Gasly, who has signed a new deal to pledge his future to Alpine, has scored points at the past 𓆉four grands prix.

Bu🌠tꦺ after incurring a 50-place penalty at the British Grand Prix, he was out with a suspected gear box issue as the starting grid was taking shape.
