SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Daniel Ricciardo is expecting to take a grid penalty at this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix after his recent spate of reliability issues looks set to spill over into another round.
The Red Bull driver has retired from the last two races with power unit issues and looks set to be hit with a ten-place grid penalty for an MGU-H component change ahead of the Brazilian weekend.
"I may have to take another penalty. It is likely," Ricciardo said in the paddock on Thursday. "We could maybe avoid it but it is probably going to put us in a risk again of not finishing.
