Leclerc starts 12th today: he must serve 10 penalty positions on the starting grid
At the start of today’s race, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc will have to serve a ten-place grid penalty due to the fact that, after what happened in Bahrain, it became necessary to mount the third electronic control unit of the season on his SF-23. The Monegasque therefore, after finishing qualifying in 2nd place, will start today in Jeddah from 12th on the starting grid.
However, the electronic control unit is not the only new feature introduced on the two Prancing Horse single-seaters for this Saudi Arabian GP. In fact, the Maranello team also mounted the second MGU-H and the second internal combustion engine of the season on the Monegasque’s car (against the three allowed by the regulations for both components). Furthermore, there was also an important novelty on Carlos Sainz’s car on which the second ICE (endothermic engine) of the season was mounted. For the Madrilenian, contrary to his teammate, however, there won’t be any penalties to serve on the grid in today’s race.
The starting grid of the Arabian GP of F1 2023
The second pole position of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship went once again to Red Bull. But, contrary to what was expected, it will not be Max Verstappen who will start in front of everyone in today’s race (who will start from 15th after the failure of the RB19 which forced him to be eliminated in Q2) but the Mexican Sergio Perez. Fernando Alonso will start alongside him with the Aston Martin taking advantage of the penalty to Charles Leclerc (who will start 12th) to gain the front row. On the third spot on the starting grid will be George Russell’s Mercedes flanked by the other Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz. Lewis Hamilton starts seventh who will also have Stroll and Ocon ahead of him.
