Must now go to the back
Official! Mega penalty for Verstappen confirmed
As already suspected, Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has received a hefty penalty. The Dutchman has to move back a whole ten places on the grid for Sunday. However, the timing of the penalty was probably deliberately chosen by the racing team.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen showed a convincing training session on Friday and he must continue to deliver this convincing performance on the race weekend in Belgium. As it became official on Friday, the Dutchman will receive a hefty penalty.
As suspected, Red Bull has decided to use its fifth combustion engine of the season at Spa. However, because only four are allowed per season, Verstappen will now receive a grid penalty. The new engine has already been installed and the penalty is official. On Sunday, the world champion must therefore move back a whole ten places.
Even if the Dutchman dominates qualifying, he can start the race from eleventh place at most. But the timing was probably chosen deliberately by the racing team. The track in the Ardennes is considered to be the one on the calendar where overtaking seems more likely. Verstappen already started from 14th place in 2022 - and ultimately finished in first place.
