Max Verstappen grid penalty plans confirmed by Red Bull chief in boost for Charles Leclerc
The Daily Express: Max Verstappen is set to take a grid penalty which could hand Charles Leclerc a glimmer of hope in the battle for the drivers’ title.
Max Verstappen is set to take a grid penalty before the end of the season to switch for a fresh engine, Red Bull’s chief advisor Helmut Marko has confirmed. The move will be seen as a boost for Charles Leclerc, whose hopes of fighting for the title had looked slim after a series of crucial DNFs this season.
The Red Bull star, who currently leads the drivers’ standings by 63 points over Leclerc, has been in sensational form this season, winning eight out of 12 races. But the Dutchman has been the main beneficiary of Leclerc’s misfortune on the track, with the Monegasque failing to finish when leading a race three times this season.
