is expected to start the race ten places further back on the grid than his qualifying position. This is due to the team's anticipated decision to incur a severe grid penalty at Spa-Francorchamps for using a new power unit on his RB20.
The current F1 power unit includes seven elements: the internal combustion engine , motor generator unit-kinetic , motor generator unit-heat , energy store , control electronics , turbocharger, and the exhaust. Despite the boost in McLaren's pace, which has made it the fastest car on the grid today, Red Bull might have strategically chosen the Belgian GP for Verstappen to take his grid penalty and opt for a fifth engine. This decision likely considers Verstappen's past success at Spa, where he has previously overcome grid penalties to secure victory.
