Lando Norris will be hoping for no engine gremlins across the remainder of the F1 season!
McLaren equipped Lando Norris’ car with the final legal control electronics and energy store for the British Grand Prix qualifying session. Each driver is allowed to use two of each component per season without facing penalties, and Norris’ MCL39 now has the second of both components. If Norris needs a replacement for either the control electronics or energy store this season, he will incur a grid penalty. Numerous engine changes were made across the F1 paddock before the Silverstone race weekend, with nine other drivers close to receiving grid penalties including Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, and Kimi Antonelli. Williams installed new engine components for Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon during third practice, but both drivers still have spare legal components and are not at risk of grid penalties.
