Hadjar had also used six turbochargers, six exhaust sets and four MGU-Ks; the figures record season-to-date use, not a penalty ruling.

Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar had used seven internal-combustion engines in the 2026 Formula 1 season by 9 October, according to FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer’s report for the Singapore Grand Prix.

Hadjar’s other figures were six turbochargers and six exhaust sets, plus four MGU-Ks (kinetic motor-generator units), four energy stores, four power-unit control-electronics units and seven ancillary components. The figures are season-to-date usage counts, not a penalty ruling.

At that point, Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso each had seven energy stores, compared with four for Hadjar. Their ancillary-component counts were higher as well: eight for Stroll and nine for Alonso, against Hadjar’s seven.
