RB driver Daniel Ricciardo will race with new power unit components after changes before the Australian Grand Prix.
RB had to make a precautionary power unit change for Daniel Ricciardo before the Australian Grand Prix. As a result, he will be starting from the back of the grid at Albert Park in 18th position for the Faenza-based team. The changes made by RB to the internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, and MGU-K on the VCARB-01 did not incur any penalties. The decision to switch components was a preventive measure, as no damage was found on the original parts used during the race weekend. Despite these alterations, Ricciardo will still begin the race from 18th place, with Zhou Guanyu starting from the pits for Stake F1, and Williams withdrawing Logan Sargeant due to a lack of spare chassis after Alex Albon’s FP1 crash.
