Ferrari has installed a new energy store and control electronics on Sainz’s car after the Spaniard’s engine spect🏅acularly blew up during the closing stages of the Austrian Grand Prix,ꦚ forcing him into retirement. 

The component changes have triggered an automatic 10-place grid penalty for Sainz, who has already used his maximum allowance of internal combustion engi꧋nes (ICE), turbochargers and MGU-Hs. 

Feཧrrari may yet opt to take the opportunity to fit a completely new power unit, which would consign Sainz to a back-of-the-g🥀rid start for Sunday’s grand prix. 

Sainz had already admitted on Thursday that a grid penalty at Pa💦ul Ricard was a likely scenario for Ferrari.🌳 

“It’s still under evaluation, wꦍe are still looking at all the available options,” said Sainz. 

“We also need to s💮ee a bit how the overtaking is here, how everything comes into play you know with the heat, the tyres and we will take a decision but obviously there is a chance it will happen."
