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

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

Ferrari may yet opt to take the opportunity to fit a completely newꦡ power unit, which♍ would consign Sainz to a back-of-the-grid start for Sunday’s grand prix. 

Sainz had already admitted on Th🐷ursday that a grid penalty at Paul Ricard was a likely scenario for ♏Ferrari. 

“It’s still under evaluation, we are still loo♍king at all the avai💛lable options,” said Sainz. 

“We also need to see 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."
