Singapore GP: Update on V6 engine components by drivers
A few minutes before the Singapore Grand Prix F1 qualifying session, MotorsInside.com offers you an update on each driver's quota concerning each element of the V6 hybrid block.
The challenging Singapore Grand Prix is an opportunity to review the mechanical components that may have been changed since the start of the season. Thus, the FIA, through several official documents, allows tracking throughout a race weekend all the replacement operations performed on the single-seaters.
This season, such a series of information is very important, with the Sporting Regulations (article 28.4a) requiring teams to adhere to a maximum quota of five power units per car, which include a series of components that can themselves be replaced individually, up to a limit of five. These components are:
– le moteur thermique
– le turbocompresseur
– la batterie
– le MGU-K
– le MGU-H
– l’unité de contrôle électronique (UCE)
Beyond these quotas, penalties of 5 or 10 places on the grid may be applied.
Thus, before the qualifying session, here are all the components used by the drivers since the start of the season. Note that Fernando Alonso is reported to have installed a sixth electronic control unit before Friday in Singapore without incurring a penalty. No additional information has been provided.
