Last year, we can recall that the two McLaren drivers, Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, had almost changed the entirety of their car components, thus setting a new record for the number of penalty positions: Fernando Alonso had received 55 penalty positions while Jenson Button had “only” 50, totaling 105 for the team.<\/p>\n
IF the record is not expected to fall this year, Fernando Alonso is set for at least 35 places down due to new problems encountered during the first practice session this Friday morning, namely a water leak from his energy recovery system. He is therefore assured of starting last on the grid.<\/p>\n
\nFernando’s session is done. After an inspection the decision has been taken to change his power unit. #BelgianGP<\/a><\/p>\n
