Ferrari F1-75
As a result of having new components installed in his car for the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has joined fellow title challenger Max Verstappen in edging closer to a penalty. The revised gearbox and exhaust system in Leclerc’s F1-75 are both confirmed in FIA documents made public on Saturday.
The exhaust is his last of the eight allotted, while the gearbox is the last of the four he’s allowed for the season. As a result, the Monegasque is now in danger of receiving a grid penalty, just like Verstappen, who will also be penalised for any additional gearbox modifications after taking his fourth and final campaign-permitted element this weekend.

Charles Leclerc is not the only driver on the grid running new parts
Monacan driver Charles Leclerc is not the only driver whose vehicle has undergone modifications; Mercedes driver George Russell, who had been allotted three MGU-Ks, has also received a new motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K).
Leclerc is not the only driver utilizing a new gearbox case and cassette; Williams driver Nicholas Latifi and Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll are also using new gearbox drivelines, gear change elements, and auxiliary components.
