Used engine parts overview | No grid penalties expected at Zandvoort

The summer break is over and that means ten more Grands Prix remain in the 2023 season. The Formula 1 circus is will first visit Zandvoort and just before the start of the weekend, we take a look at how the drivers are doing in terms of engine parts.
The expectation for the Dutch Grand Prix is that grid penalties will not feature. Overtaking on the Zandvoort circuit is quite difficult so nobody will choose (of their own free will) to introduce a new engine component outside their own pool.
Pierre Gasly, Lando Norris, Kevin Magnussen, Nico Hulkenberg and Alexander Albon are already at or over the number of internal combustion engine (ICE) units allowed for this season. They are definitely expected to pick up another grid penalty this season. These drivers are a bit in the danger zone anyway, as all of them also used a lot of TCs, MGU-Hs and MGU-Ks.
For Max Verstappen, it all looks good, although he too will most likely be put back a few spots on the grid eventually. Verstappen introduced his second ES and CE relatively early in the season so he will presumably have to use a third unit of these engine parts as well. Teammate Sergio Perez already sits on three units with these two components.
