Yuki Tsunoda has been handed a pit lane start at the 2025 F1 Hungarian GP after Red Bull fitted several new power unit elements to his car that exceeded the allocation for the season.
Yuki Tsunoda will have to start the 2025 Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix from the pitlane due to Red Bull exceeding the power unit elements limit on his car for the season. This violation includes the installation of a fifth internal combustion engine, turbocharger, motor generator unit-heat, and motor generator unit-kinetic, exceeding the allowed maximum of four according to Article 28.2 of the sporting regulations. Despite the new exhaust system meeting regulations, the cumulative unauthorized changes, along with adjustments to the brake cooling setup, triggered a mandatory penalty under Article 40.9(a). Originally slated to begin the race 16th on the grid following a Q1 exit, Tsunoda will now face a pit lane start. The comparison of Yuki Tsunoda to Max Verstappen has been deemed ‘unfair’ due to differing Red Bull F1 machinery levels.
