After Renault’s difficult Mexican Grand Prix where four out of six of its engines failed to finish the race, the trio of drivers have had to take an eighth MGU-H unit of the season which incurs a 10-place grid penalty per driver.
But further pain was to follow for Hartley who stopped on track with a smoking engine after competing just two laps in FP1 in Brazil.
Ricciardo has also taken a new energy store and control electronics but won’t be hurt by further grid drops as each unit is his fourth new component of the season which is within the regulations.
