Upon arrival at
Istanbul Park,
Williams decided to replace the internal combustion engine (ICE), turbo and MGU-H in Russell's car. All these three components will be replaced for the fourth time during the fourteenth Grand Prix of the year and so Russell is facing a grid penalty.
This makes the task of scoring his first point almost impossible at
Istanbul Park. However, the
Turkish Grand Prix is often full of surprises, so Russell can still hope for a good result in the race.
