After nine races, F1 is getting into the thick of things with regard to power unit element usage, so we've updated the allocation before the British GP.

As a reminder, under current regulations, drivers are permitted to use only four of each of the six elements that make up the power unit before grid penalties are imposed.

The first time a fifth element is used, a 10-place grid penalty will be imposed, with a five-place drop imposed the first time a fifth of any of the remaining elements is used.

The first time a sixth element is used, a 10-place grid penalty will be applied, as Mclaren-Honda's drivers know all too well...
