Charles Leclerc is now certain to incur a grid penalty for using more engine parts than allowed this season, handing a boost to Max Verstappen 's title hopes.
After a strong start to the season, Leclerc is being let down by a lack of reliability from his car. The Monegasque racer won two of the first three races but has not stood on the top step of the podium since, with two DNFs hampering his hopes.
The first came at the Spanish Grand Prix, where an engine failure ended his chances of bringing home a good haul of points. Ferrari later confirmed that the turbocharger and MGU-H used that day had been damaged beyond repair.
