It was expected and now it has been confirmed. What can Max Verstappen achieve in São Paulo?
Max Verstappen has received a five-place grid penalty for the São Paulo Grand Prix due to an engine change. This marks his second power unit penalty this season as Red Bull installed a new internal combustion engine on Verstappen’s RB20 before the Belgian Grand Prix. Following the Belgian GP, where Verstappen could only manage a fourth-place finish after starting on pole, Red Bull opted to switch the internal combustion engine once again for the upcoming race at Interlagos. Despite it being the second change for the same component, Verstappen will only serve a five-place penalty, unlike the 10-place penalty he received at Spa when the ICE was first changed beyond the normal allocation. Despite the setback, Interlagos has been a successful track for Verstappen, having won there twice before.
