It resonated that Lance Stroll was going to change components in his powertrain after a poor US Grand Prix qualifying that forced him to start from a rear position. However, Aston Martin made the decision not to do so, relying on the Canadiens’ options to get a good result in the race.

New power unit

But it was clear that the Aston Martin was not going to escape the same fate as the rest of the vehicles with Mercedes mechanics and it only took one race for the driver to sanction for changing the entire powertrain. , exceeding the number of pieces authorized in the current season.

Stroll will launch an all-new power unit, breaking the limit, along with a new control unit and exhaust system. However, with these two components, he is within the limit, which does not prevent the sanction imposed from going back to the back of the grid in the race this Sunday.

Lance Stroll will fight not to be the last with another racer who also decided to make changes to his powertrain, taking the same penalty. This time it is not a Mercedes rider but a Honda rider; Yuki Tsunoda. Like Stroll, you’ll mount your third unit of each component listed, and in the case of exhausts, the sixth of the eight allowed.

New exhaust for Sergio Pérez

Checo Pérez will also release a new exhaust, which, like Tsunoda, is the sixth of eight that can be used throughout the year without any penalties, so the Mexican will not penalize for this concept.

Reprisals for Hamilton and Raikkonen

Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen received a reprimand for an infraction during the first free practice session of the Mexican Grand Prix. The two pilots left the track after the long straight, entering the grass and returning to the track following a different path from that marked by the race director.
