Verstappen first driver to exceed power unit limit after Monaco change

Red Bull has opted to take a third MGU-K power unit element on Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 car ahead of Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix, triggering a grid penalty that will have no impact on his starting position. Verstappen entered the race weekend at Monaco having used just one MGU-K so far this season, but Red Bull opted to take a second and final part from its allocation for the season prior to the start of practice on Thursday.
