Max Verstappen still has all his engines available. Indeed, the engine that was replaced in Australia has passed the inspection, Motorsport.com reports.

During the Australian Grand Prix, Verstappen's engine was replaced. Early in the season, Verstappen's Honda engine had to be changed, but it turns out this was not a big deal after all. Indeed, in Japan, Red Bull Racing reports that the engine has been checked and can be used again by Verstappen.

Prior to the Japanese Grand Prix, Verstappen was one of the few who had already changed engines once. The same only applied to Alexander Albon and Daniel Ricciardo. However, this will change in Japan. For Lewis Hamilton has to replace his engine after it failed in Melbourne and can no longer be used.
