Full Scale of F1 Penalties Revealed for Hadjar and Gasly at Italian GP

The FIA has confirmed significant power unit component changes for Isack Hadjar of Racing Bulls and Pierre Gasly of Alpine ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, leading to substantial grid penalties.

Why it matters

These penalties will drastically affect the starting grid for Sunday's race, particularly for Hadjar, who will start from the pit lane. This comes just days after Hadjar's impressive podium finish at the Dutch GP.

The details

• Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls): Hadjar faces a complete power unit change, resulting in a pit-lane start. This includes:

  • Fifth internal combustion engine (ICE)
  • Fifth turbocharger
  • Fifth MGU-H
  • Fifth MGU-K
  • Third energy store
  • Third control electronics
  • Sixth exhaust system (out of eight allowed) All components except the exhaust exceed the seasonal allocation, triggering the maximum penalty.

• Pierre Gasly (Alpine): Gasly has also received new components, exceeding his allocation. These include:

  • Fifth ICE
  • Fifth turbocharger
  • Fifth MGU-H
  • Fifth MGU-K
  • Sixth exhaust system (out of eight allowed) While these changes also incur a grid penalty, the specific starting position will depend on how many other drivers also receive penalties.

What's next

Both drivers will aim to make up positions during the Italian Grand Prix, but starting from the pit lane or further back on the grid presents a significant challenge on the high-speed Monza circuit.
