Toto Wolff confirms power unit penalty for Antonelli at Monza

Toto Wolff announced that Andrea Kimi Antonelli will receive a power unit penalty during the upcoming F1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The decision requires Antonelli to start from the back of the grid after installing a fifth Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). This follows a series of reliability issues for Antonelli and teammate George Russell in the 2026 season. Wolff stated that their calculations suggest Monza is the optimal venue for this penalty. Antonelli expressed hope for a strong performance despite the setback, citing Monza as an opportunity to regain positions during the race.
