Hamilton set for Brazilian GP grid penalty after Ferrari opts to change engine parts

RacingNews365 reports that Ferrari decided after Friday's practice sessions to change engine components on Lewis Hamilton's car, leaving the seven-time champion with a grid penalty for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

The penalty follows a difficult Friday for Ferrari. Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were still struggling to find the right feel in the car and were well behind fastest man Kimi Antonelli. Hamilton also lacked top speed during practice. RacingNews365 says he will need a recovery drive to secure a good result.
