Hartley takes on new power unit elements for British GP

Considering Brendon Hartley's start from the pitlane this afternoon following his crash in FP3 yesterday, Honda has opted to fit the Kiwi's Toro Rosso with new power unit elements.

The Faenza-based outfit was forced to build up a new chassis for the Kiwi yesterday, leading Hartley to sit out qualifying, which in turn triggered a pitlane start.

Honda has announced that Hartley has taken on a new Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), his sixth of the season, and a fifth MGU-K element.

Hartley won't be alone in the pitlane when the light go off as he'll be lining up right behind Williams drivers Sergey Sirotkin and Lance Stroll whose cars were also revised after qualifying.

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.
