Max Verstappen could be facing a grid penalty before the end of the season, according to former F1 driver Christijan Albers.
The three-time world champion is already at five internal combustion engines for the season – one over the permitted allocation – and Albers expects the Dutchman to need another engine outside of his allowance before the season ends.
“That could be a hit,” Albers told De Telegraaf. “Then I would get it in Brazil, one hundred per cent. You’re not going to do that in Austin. I would get it in Brazil, that’s better with that long straight, and that’s better with the DRS. They have that in Austin too, but that’s a close call.”
