All drivers of Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri will ride the Belgian Grand Prix with new engine parts this weekend. This was decided by engine supplier Honda at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The new components that will be installed will mean a grid penalty for none of the men.

Max Verstappen gets a new Energy Store and new Control Electronics mounted in his RB16B. Team mate Perez will drive with almost a whole new power unit. Also Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda will get new parts. See below the exact overview.

Both Verstappen and Perez appear to be facing a grid penalty later in the season. They are both running out of spare parts, so penalties will follow. Where Red Bull Racing will take these penalties is still unknown.
