Alonso faces time penalties as well as grid drop
Print Edition
MCLAREN’S Fernando Alonso faces a time penalty in Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix as well as starting from the back of the grid as a result of exceeding his engine allocation for the season.
The governing FIA said yesterday that the Spaniard would start with a new engine, his fifth in eight races, as well as his fifth turbocharger and fifth MGU-H (motor generator unit-heat) component. The extra engine carries a 10 place penalty while the other items bring five place penalties — totalling a grid drop of 20 places.
Depending on where he qualifies today, and with only 20 grid slots, any untaken places after the drop will be converted into time penalties.
Alonso, a double F1 world champion who joined McLaren from Ferrari at the end of last season, has yet to score a point in seven races with the team which has started a new partnership with Honda.
“In terms of performance, we expect a lot from the car in the next month or two months,” he said. “So we will see how we end up before summer and how we end up at the end of the year. That will give us some hopes for next year, let’s say. It’s the way it is.”
