SILVERSTONE -- Fernando Alonso's British Grand Prix grid penalty has risen to a combined 30 places after multiple component changes to his Honda power unit overnight.
Alonso already had a five-place penalty hanging over his head when Honda changed the energy store in his engine on Friday. On Saturday during FP3 the Japanese manufacturer confirmed a wholescale change.
The No.7 car will be fitted with a new turbocharger, internal combustion engine, MGU-H and MGU-K. The turbocharger is the first time Alonso has used an eighth element, meaning that part carries a 10-place penalty, while the others each carry five places.
