F1 Canada GP: Charles Leclerc to start at back of grid
18th June 2022Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is now set to start the race at the back of the grid after he took additional power unit components.
The Scuderia’s Monegasque driver was slapped with a 10-place grid penalty after he took an additional control electronics component for his power unit, which was outside of his allowance.
However, Leclerc will now start the Canadian Grand Prix at the back of the pack.
This comes after the Monegasque took an additional; Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Turbocharger (TC), Motor Generator Unit – Heat (MGU-H), Motor Generator Unit – Kinetic (MGU-K). Leclerc has also taken a brand new exhaust but this remains within the sporting regulations of the 2022 season.
Of these components, Leclerc had taken:
- His fourth ICE
- His fourth turbocharger
- His fourth MGU-H
- His fourth MUG-K
This means he will now join Alpha Tauri’s Yuki Tsunoda who also took a new; ICE, Turbocharger, MGU-H and another MGU-K, at the beginning of the weekend.
