Current🐼 F1 rules state that drivers are permitted four gearboxes throughout the entire 23-race season.

Both Red 🐼Bull’s Verstappen and Ferrari’s Leclerc have already moved onto their third gearbox in advance of the Miami Grand Prix, the fifth round of the 2023 season.

Verstappen has been frustrated with his gearboxes this second, opting to move onto his second after being unsa𓄧tisfied at the opening two grands prix.

Leclerc moved onto a new g⛦earbox at the start of the weekend, but following his crash in qualifying was forced to again take his third of the season.

Leclerc served a 10-place grid penalty in Saudi Arabia, the second round, when he took his  third Control Electronics of th�꧒�e year, with only two permitted.

For Ferrari🎀 driver Leclerc this will be a concern about hi🐻s team’s ability to deliver a reliable and competitive car.

For Verstappen a potential grid pena𒉰lty down the line could impact the title fight with his teammate Sergio Perez.
