Both Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls drivers have received a new power unit component for the Bahrain GP, the FIA shared in the document summarising the changes for the weekend.
During the weekend in Sakhir, all drivers within the Red Bull family will receive a new energy story (ES) and a new control electronics (CE) component as well.
Previously, they have only used a single one in terms of both components, so there will be no penalties for Max Verstappen, Yuki Tsunoda, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar.
In FP1, Max Verstappen did not test these new parts, as Ayumu Iwasa replaced the Dutchman for the first 60 minutes of free practice time in the desert.
