Yuki Tsunoda will start the Hungarian Grand Prix from the pit lane after taking a new power unit in the back of his RB21.

The move, which usually comes with a grid penalty, will instead see the Red Bull driver start from the pits as parc ferme conditions are in effect.

Specifically, the Japanese driver has been equipped with a new internal combustion engine (ICE), his fifth of the year and one over the allowed four.

That is true also of the new turbocharger (TC), motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H) and motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K) in the back of his RB21.

He also has a new exhaust system, his sixth this campaign of an allowed eight.

The 25-year-old had qualified in P16 after his fourth Q1 knock-out in qualifying in the last eight rounds.
