Max Verstappen is facing a 10-place grid drop at the Belgian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver has taken a fifth internal combustion engine into his power unit pool, triggering the 10 place drop. It means that even if he wins qualifying, Verstappen can start 11th at best, notwithstanding any penalties for those inside the top 10. Red Bull has taken similar penalties at the 2022 and 2023 Spa races, with Verstappen comfortably winning both times. But can he make the strangest of three-peats?
