With the occasion of the double-header in England and Austria, the calculation of the components of the power units and transmissions was updated again. After Charles Leclerc in Canada used two new power units, bringing the total count to four, Carlos Sainz replaced the third power unit along with the hybrid system at the Silverstone circuit. At the Red Bull, Ring the Spaniard experienced a breakdown of his power unit, but immediately after the race, Team Principal Mattia Binotto did not want to comment about a possible penalty on the grid in France. Much will depend on the damage suffered in Spielberg and which power unit was the one affected, whether it was PU3 introduced in England or rather the number two.
Meanwhile, Red Bull continues to show signs of enviable reliability, with Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen still running power unit two. A similar situation also for the Mercedes engines, with only Lando Norris who mounted the third power unit of the season in Austria. Less ideal for Alpine: Esteban Ocon is close to a penalty on the grid, while Fernando Alonso, due to a disappointing Sprint Race, mounted the fifth engine of the season at the Red Bull Ring, starting the race from the back of the grid.
The picture also appears critical for Haas and Alfa Romeo, both powered by Ferrari engines. All the drivers are now close to a penalty, while in Austria Bottas already got a penalty for fitting the fifth MGU-H and turbocharger. With the approach of the summer break, the calculation of transmission replacements also begins to be relevant, with Mick Schumacher already reaching the top of the four parts allowed for the 2022 Formula One season.
