Ricciardo gets new engine, more penalties ensue

Red Bull is taking advantage of Daniel Ricciardo's low starting position on the British GP grid to fit new components to the Aussie's engine without much consequence.

Ricciardo's RB13 will receive a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-K and MGU-H.

Ricciardo's weekend goes from bad to worse after quali failure

The latter is the only element which goes beyond the authorised number of four for the season, which leads to an additional 10-place grid penalty on top of the original 5-spot demotion incurred by Red Bull for a gearbox change.

Ricciardo will effectively start P19 on the grid, one sport ahead of McLaren's Fernando Alonso.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
