Max Verstappen was asked about the possibility of having to take a grid penalty later on this season, after a power unit inspection revealed he is unlikely to have the full complement of parts for the year.a report claimedShould that be the case, Verstappen would be left with fewer parts with which to fight the World Championship this season, making the possibility of having to breach his allocation more likely – and a subsequent grid penalty would follow as a result.
“No, not yet,” Verstappen told media including PlanetF1.com in Austria when asked if he had heard from Honda following the inspection of the parts. Verstappen has been keeping a close eye on developments around the team’s Milton Keynes base, knowing just how critical that element may be heading into a year of mass regulation changes and multiple factory power unit manufacturers, with Honda set to move and partner with Aston Martin.
“The team has hired a lot of good people and, honestly, the only thing that I can say about it is that everyone is pushing flat out to try and make it the fastest engine possible.
