The FIA have confirmed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen will take a five-place grid penalty for today’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix after taking a𝄹 new ICE engine component.

It means Verstappen won’t start any h🎉igher than sixth on the grid for Sunday’s grand♛ prix at Interlagos.

Bad weather on Saturday meant qualifying was postponed until Sunday. A rearranged timetable on 🔯Sunday features qualifying followed by the grand prix.

But Verstappen's title battle with McLaren's Lando Norris h⛎as taღken a setback with his penalty in Brazil.

The good news for Verstappen is thꦜat it’s only a five-place grid penalty.

It’s his sixth ICE component of the year - he took ꦫhis fifth at Spa, which resulted in a 10-place grid penalty.

In the FIA press conference on Thursday in Sao Paulo, Verꦡstappen admitted an engine penalty was inevitable heading into the final stretch of the campaign.

He sa🌞id: “I haven't heard anything yet. It's not discussed, but I know that I will have to take one at some point. So we'll see.”

New floor for Perez

On the other side of the garage, Red Bull have changed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez’s chassis.

Perez endured a nightmare weekend in Mexico City.

He was knocked out in Q1 before finishing ♛17th (last) on home soil.

As quoted by The Race, chief engineer Paul Monagha🌳n confirmed Perez will use a different chassis.

He said: “We've 🏅changed him back into a different chassis. He asked if we can: yeah, fine, OK.

“The boys gotꦬ a bit of work but they didn't mind so there we go.”

Perez wil༺l also run a slightly different floℱor to Verstappen.

“Checo is on a different edge spec🐓💟ification from Max,” Monaghan added.

“If ꦜyou look at the edge wing itꦅself it's subtly different. It's a small difference.

“The magnitude is, I would argue, small enough that it's not going to cause him to 🏅have a significant difference to Max.

“We've done it like that purely and simply because it's the best way to service two cars and ensꦕure that we can service them fairly with spares.”
