F1: Leclerc has to start at back with Tsunoda in Montreal

Ferrari added new power unit components to the Monegasque’s car just before the third practice for the Canadian GP on Saturday, which included a new internal combustion engine, turbo, MGU-H and MGU-K. Drivers are allotted three parts a season, and this pushed Leclerc to four.

He was already going to get a 10-place grid penalty.  With the additional grid spot demotions Leclerc now starts on the last row today.

AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda was dealt a similar penalty and will join Leclerc at the back.

Perhaps more worrisome for Leclerc and Ferrari is the fact he is on his 4th engine already, and we are not even halfway through the 2022 season yet.

More grid penalties later in the year are a certainty.

Charles Leclerc, Friday in Montreal
