Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was on Wednesday hit with a 10-place grid penalty for this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The sanction was meted out by Formula One's rulers the FIA after Ferrari were forced to change the power unit twice in Leclerc's car at the season-opening race in Bahrain.
Leclerc, who is already 25 points adrift of double world champion Max Verstappen's Red Bull after he failed to finish in Bahrain, faces further penalties if more parts need to be changed on his car ahead of Sunday's race in Jeddah."On Sunday, we had two different issues," he told Formula1.com. "It’s something that we never experienced in the past. I hope now it’s under control, but we have a deep analysis on this."
