Isack Hadjar is on the cusps of a grid penalty, following several
engine component changes ahead of third practice at the Dutch Grand
Prix. As final practice got underway, it was confirmed that Racing
Bulls had fitted the French-Algerian with his final legal internal
combustion engine, turbocharger, motor generator unit-kinetic and
motor generator unit-heat. Each driver can use four of each
component during a season before incurring a penalty, with Hadjar
now on the last of each. He has also received a new exhaust, but
still has several within his pool for the season before receiving a
penalty for an exhaust change. The opening day at Zandvoort was
difficult for the rookie, who missed a large portion of second
practice after grinding to a halt following a power unit issue.
