Where Max Verstappen changed his complete engine for a new one in Russia, Lewis Hamilton only changed the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) in Turkey. That did earn him a grid penalty of ten spots, but with a completely new engine he doesn't drive, unlike Red Bull Racing's Dutchman. Why didn't Mercedes replace the entire engine of the title contender, just like Red Bull did?
During last week’s Russian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen pulled off an impressive feat that puts him in an exclusive club. On the current grid, just one other driver started from 20th on the grid and finished second.
At the end of the Russian Grand Prix Red Bull Racing is in good shape. The gap to Mercedes is small in the championship and Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen have both already used their new engines. Lewis Hamilton has yet to do so, but where can the Briton do so to minimise the damage?
