Red Bull test new power unit for Singapore GP
Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly will start this Sunday's Italian Grand Prix at the back of the grid due to power unit changes, engine partners Honda said yesterday.
Both will use Honda's latest "Spec 4" unit, taking them beyond their engine allocation for the season.
By taking penalties at Monza, the fastest track on the calendar, Red Bull aim to give Verstappen a better chance for the Sept 20-22 Singapore GP, where grid position is more important and overtaking is difficult. - REUTERS
