A majority of the Formula 1 field have taken new power unit components at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix - after the allocation was increased for 2023.
Teams were given an extra Interval Combustion Engine, Turbo-Charger, MGU-K and MGU-H components only for the 2023 season, owing to the length of the calendar with 23 Grands Prix and six Sprint events - the first of which takes place in Baku this weekend.
As such, teams have taken most of their new components straight away - although Pierre Gasly could be forced to take yet more after a fire on his Alpine during the sole practice session ahead of qualifying.
The tables below show which drivers have taken which engine components.
