Current F1 rule🌠s state that drivers are permitted four gearboxes throughout the entire 23-race season.

Both Red Bull’s Verstappen and Ferrari’s Leclerc have a♚lready moved onto their꧙ third gearbox in advance of the Miami Grand Prix, the fifth round of the 2023 season.

Ver💛stappen has been frustrated with his gearboxes this second, opting to move onto his second after being unsatisfied at the opening two grands prix.

Leclerc moved onto a new gearbox at the start of the weekend, but 𝓰following his crash in qualifying was forced to again take his third of the season.

Leclerc served a 10-place grid penalty in Saudi Arabia, the second round, when he t🍌ook his  third Control Electronics of the year, with only two permitted.

For Ferrari driver Leclerc this will be a concern about his team’s ability to deliver a reliable a🃏nd competitive car.

For Verstappen a potential grid penalty down the line could impact the title fight with his teammate 🐟Sergio Perez.
