P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Liam Lawson will be hoping for an engine miracle the rest of the season, following an array of changes moving the driver close to a grid penalty.
Liam Lawson is facing a potential F1 grid penalty due to being close to exceeding his allowed new engine components.
For the Canadian Grand Prix, Lawson received his final legal ICE, TC, and MGU-H, all of which represent the fourth and last new component within their respective pools.
Additionally, Lawson was also provided with a new exhaust system, marking the fourth out of eight permitted new exhausts.
Any further new ICE, TC, or MGU-H requirements during this season would lead to a grid penalty for Lawson.
Engine changes were also observed in the paddock at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with Mercedes drivers each receiving a new component for every engine element.
Kimi Antonelli’s power unit failure at the Spanish Grand Prix resulted in the installation of a new ICE, TC, MGU-H, MGU-K, and exhaust, the same as Russell.
Fernando Alonso’s engine saw significant changes, with Aston Martin fitting new components for each engine element.
Although three Mercedes power units have been fully replaced with new parts, Russell, Antonelli, and Alonso are not currently at risk of incurring a grid penalty.
