Mercedes mulls engine penalty for Antonelli at Monza

Mercedes is weighing up F1 engine penalties that could see Kimi Antonelli hit with a grid drop for his home race at Monza.

Mercedes is considering taking grid penalties for engine changes in the second half of the season, which could result in Kimi Antonelli receiving a drop at the Italian Grand Prix. The F1 championship leader is already at the limit of his used internal combustion engines, exhaust sets, energy stores, and control electronics.

Antonelli has one additional turbocharger available, but Mercedes may need to make strategic engine changes that could trigger penalties as the season progresses. mwafrika.life
