The FIA has confirmed the raft of power unit components that have been changed in the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Alpine of Pierre Gasly.
After failing to make it out of Q1 for the Italian Grand Prix, just six days after his headline-making podium in the Dutch GP in which he became the third youngest driver in F1 history to finish in the top three, Hadjar confirmed he would "start last".
This, of course, has been translated into a pit-lane start due to a complete change of power unit in Hadjar's car.
Racing Bulls has taken a fifth internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, and MGU-K, along with a third energy store and control electronics, all above the prescribed threshold for such components over a season.
Alpine, meanwhile, has only swapped out four of the elements, namely the ICE, turbocharger, MGU-H and MGU-K. All are the fifth to be used in this campaign.
Additionally, Gasly and Hadjar's cars have a new exhaust system. Both are the sixth to be used this year, with eight allowed.
