F1, Canadian GP: another penalty, Leclerc will start from the last row

Charles Leclerc will start from the bottom of the grid tomorrow at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, as Ferrari has decided to change parts of its engine again beyond the limit allowed per season.
Only eight races out of 22 have been disputed but Ferrari has already reached the maximum authorized quota for the various engine components of the car of its leader Charles Leclerc, current 3 / o in the championship with 34 points behind Max Verstappen (Red Bull). Yesterday, during the second free practice session, Leclerc had already been informed of a penalty of ten places for Sunday due to the replacement of an electronic control module in his engine, the 4 / o element of this type while three are authorized. But today, at the start of the third free practice session and before qualifying, Ferrari has again introduced new elements, including a fourth internal combustion engine and a fourth turbocharger, earning more penalty places.
Leclerc, with a brand new engine, will therefore start at the bottom of the grid hoping to climb as much as possible. He will be accompanied at the start by Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri), for the same reasons. Colleague Ferrari Carlos Sainz also has a new internal combustion engine
