The qualifying for the Turkish GP was very disappointing for Daniel Ricciardo. The Australian was not able to advance to Q2, a sixteenth starting place appeared to be the maximum Saturday. For that reason Ricciardo and McLaren have decided to add a new engine to the engine pool.

Ricciardo is changing his internal combustion engine, his turbo, the MGU-H and his exhaust. As a result, he will have to start from the back of the grid on Sunday afternoon. He will probably be behind Carlos Sainz, as the Ferrari Spaniard set a faster time than Ricciardo in qualifying.
