Engines: each driver must use the same engine from Friday morning until Sunday evening. If there is a failure before qualifying, the driver will lose ten places on the grid; if this happens after the start of qualifying, he will have to start from the back on Sunday. “The team has been working on this constraint for just over a year now,” confirms Pat. “We completed five weekend distances in testing without problems.” br>
