The Australian w🧔as due to start only 15th on the grid following a surprise Q1 elimination during a disappointing qualifying s🌱ession in Turkey. 

After evaluating the situation o🌄vernight, McLaren ha🤪s elected to take the opportunity to swap Ricciardo’s engine in favour of fresh components. 

McLaren will not make wholesa♔le power unit changes however, having chosen to only install a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H and exhaust system. 

The strategic engine change consigns Ricciardo to a back-of-the-grid start for the Turkish Grand Prix, 🐲where he will line up behi𝔍nd directly behind Carlos Sainz. 

Sainz also has a grid penalty after Ferrari fitted its upgraded engine in his🍃 car ahead of the race in Istanbul. 

A total of three drivers have taken grid drops in Turkey, with world championship leader Lewis Hamilton starting 11th after Me♐rcedes repl꧋aced his internal combustion engine. 

Mercedes has admitted it will have to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“contain” the reliability issues it is facing with its current engine for the remainder ♌of the 2021 season.

McLaren goes into Sunday’s race 17.5 points clear of Ferrari in the battle over third place in the c🍃onstructors’ championship.

Ricciarꦚdo’s teammate Lando Norris starts seventh, while Charles Leclerc will line up third in his Ferrari.&🦹nbsp;
