Alonso receives grid penalty for Belgian Grand Prix after power unit changes

Fernando Alonso has been issued a grid penalty for the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix due to exceeding his power unit allocation. During Saturday's practice, it was confirmed that Alonso and his Aston Martin replaced key elements including the Energy Store, Control Electronics, and Ancillary Component. This marks the latest disruption for Alonso, who will start at the back of the field alongside teammates and fellow penalty recipients Lando Norris, Isack Hadjar, and Lance Stroll. The penalties stem from recent struggles faced by Aston Martin as they prepare for upgrades in Hungary.
