Gabriel Bortoleto has been handed a second power unit of the United States Grand Prix weekend, incurring a mammoth penalty.
Audi driver Bortoleto was handed a 20-place penalty on Friday, ensuring he will start at the back of the Circuit of the Americas grid after being given a completely new PU.
Whilst the ICE, turbocharger and exhaust sets complied with the regulations, the energy store and control electronics were the fourth of the season, with only three permitted.
Ahead of final practice, the FIA confirmed more PU changes for Bortoleto's Audi.
There is a new ICE, turbocharger, exhaust set, MGU-K and power unit ancillary component, each incurring a 10-place penalty.
In addition, there is another energy store and control electronics, but on this occasion each only incurs five-place penalties per component.
In total, today's PU means a 60-place penalty. In tandem with yesterday's change, Bortoleto faces 80 places in total, albeit naturally irrelevant.
The Brazilian will start last on the 22-car grid, although Audi may yet determine he is better off starting from the pit lane.
