Penalty risk

A fourth Energy Store and fourth Control Electronics unit were fitted under parc fermé conditions ahead of his home Canadian Grand Prix without technical delegate approval, breaching Article B8.2.2 (and the Article B3.5.3 notification requirement). He'd qualified 21st and was sent to a pit-lane start, finishing 15th.

New MGU-K, Energy Store, and Control Electronics units fitted under parc fermé conditions ahead of his home race exceeded the season allocation for all three, sending him to a pit-lane start at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

A fifth Energy Store and fifth Control Electronics unit were fitted under parc fermé conditions ahead of the British Grand Prix, breaching FIA parc-fermé rules (Articles B8.2.2/B8.2.3) and drawing a 10-place grid penalty. He'd already qualified 21st, so the penalty only cost him one place — last on the grid.

A fourth control electronics unit — fitted with a series of reliability fixes — was used for the Belgian Grand Prix, one over the season allocation, drawing a confirmed 10-place grid penalty. His first unit suffered a terminal failure in China (round 2, DNS); the second was withdrawn after Free Practice issues in Japan (round 3). McLaren chose Spa for the penalty since overtaking there is easier than at the following rounds in Hungary and Zandvoort. He qualified 3rd but started 13th.

A fourth MGU-K was fitted for the Belgian Grand Prix, one over the season allocation, drawing a 10-place grid penalty. He qualified 22nd (last), and other drivers' larger penalties meant he only fell to 20th on the grid.

A further Energy Store and Control Electronics unit were fitted for the Belgian Grand Prix — his second breach of each this season, drawing 5 places apiece — alongside a new ancillary component (PU-ANC, not otherwise tracked in this file) exceeded for the first time, drawing 10 places. The cumulative 20-place penalty converted to a back-of-the-grid start; he lined up 22nd, last.

A fifth internal combustion engine, turbocharger, and exhaust (exhaust not otherwise tracked in this file) were fitted for the Belgian Grand Prix, each exceeding the four-unit season allocation and drawing 10 places apiece — 30 in total. Converted to a back-of-the-grid start under the >15-place rule; he lined up 21st.

Fitted a fifth ICE, turbocharger, and exhaust for the Belgian Grand Prix (round 10), each one over the season allocation, drawing a cumulative 30-place penalty converted to a back-of-the-grid start (lined up 21st). Also at the season limit for energy store and control electronics.

Over the season allocation for MGU-K, energy store, and control electronics after fitting new units ahead of his home race — a parc-fermé breach that sent him to a pit-lane start at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix (round 7). Fitted a further Energy Store and Control Electronics unit (second breach of each) plus a new ancillary component (first breach) for the Belgian Grand Prix (round 10), drawing a cumulative 20-place penalty converted to a back-of-the-grid start (lined up 22nd, last).

Already breached the allocation once this season, with a fourth Energy Store and fourth Control Electronics unit fitted without approval ahead of his home Canadian Grand Prix (round 5), sending him to a pit-lane start. Then fitted a fifth Energy Store and fifth Control Electronics unit under parc fermé conditions ahead of the British Grand Prix (round 9) — two over the allocation for each — drawing a 10-place grid penalty (capped at last on the grid, since he'd only qualified 21st). Then fitted a fourth MGU-K for the Belgian Grand Prix (round 10), one over the allocation, drawing a further 10-place grid penalty (qualified 22nd, started 20th). Has also churned through three gearboxes after an in-race failure at round 7. By a wide margin the highest power-unit risk on the grid.

First control electronics unit failed before the start in China (round 2, DNS); the second was withdrawn after Free Practice issues in Japan (round 3). A fourth control electronics unit, fitted with reliability fixes for round 10 (Belgian Grand Prix), exceeded the season allocation and drew a confirmed 10-place grid penalty there (qualified 3rd, started 13th). Also swapped gearboxes after a round 5 failure; the current box must last through round 11.

At the season limit for MGU-K. His gearbox also failed in-race at round 9, only three events into its mandatory six — a replacement before round 10 would add a grid penalty.

A gearbox failure ended his round 4 race; the replacement fitted for round 5 must last through round 10 to stay penalty-free.
