There are still three Grands Prix (and one sprint race) to go in the 2023 season. That obviously makes it obvious that most drivers are close to - or have already gone over - the maximum number of parts allowed. The exact numbers will be listed at the start of the Grand Prix weekend in Brazil.

No grid penalties in Brazil's Sao Paulo GP for now

A number of drivers are already over the maximum number of engines allowed for the 2023 F1 season: Sergio Perez, Guanyu Zhou, Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg. For the Brazil GP, no new grid penalties appear to have been added as yet.

No gearbox problems

A few have already collected a grid penalty for changing to a fifth gearbox: Max Verstappen, Kevin Magnussen, Nico Hulkenberg and Yuki Tsunoda. The latter picked up a penalty on every possible part in Mexico, now a week ago.
