Red Bull Racing has replaced multiple power unit components in Isack Hadjar's car ahead of the Sprint. The Frenchman will not receive a grid penalty.
Ahead of the final Sprint of the season, Red Bull Racing replaced Hadjar's internal combustion engine (ICE) and turbocharger (TC) with previously used components. The fuel collector assembly was also replaced.
These parts have been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate after a written request from the team. Therefore, Hadjar will not start the Sprint with a grid penalty.
More changes made ahead the Sprint
There has been a change to Max Verstappen's car as well. The Dutchman's steering column assembly has also been replaced, in accordance with the FIA regulations.
