Team Principal Christian Horner: The 2024 Belgian Grand Prix will mark the beginning of the month-long summer break in Formula One but the last race of the first half of the season has just been made very interesting as table-topper Max Verstappen is likely to be handed a 10-spot penalty on the grid in the upcoming race.

According to a report by The Mirror, Red Bull will be replacing the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) of Max Vertappen’s car for the race at the Circuit of Spa-Francorchamps which would result in the Dutchman being handed a 10-grid penalty for the race.

Earlier this month, Team Principal Christian Horner had announced the team’s intention of replacing the unit and said they would have to do it ‘strategically.’ The team has likely noticed their struggles in recent outings with McLaren being the fastest car on the grid. The Hungarian Grand Prix was truly one of a kind which saw Verstappen finish fifth after a collision with Lewis Hamilton.
