汉密尔顿、勒克莱尔与维斯塔潘因更换引擎受罚
法拉利为汉密尔顿和勒克莱尔更换SF-26引擎，两人将在巴西大奖赛各被罚退10位发车；红牛也为维斯塔潘更换动力单元部件，同样面临发车位处罚。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿、夏尔·勒克莱尔和马克斯·维斯塔潘将在巴西大奖赛因更换引擎而接受发车位处罚。
法拉利和红牛都决定在F1美洲三连赛的最后一站更换动力单元部件，这意味着两支车队都将在圣保罗从后方追赶。

刘易斯·汉密尔顿、夏尔·勒克莱尔和马克斯·维斯塔潘都将在F1巴西大奖赛因更换引擎而接受发车位处罚。
在经历了一段艰难的周五练习赛之后，法拉利决定对汉密尔顿和勒克莱尔的SF-26赛车执行计划中的引擎更换，这使他们在英特拉格斯正赛中各自被罚退10个发车位。法拉利车队决定使用一台新的内燃机。
与此同时，对维斯塔潘而言，这涉及整套动力单元的更换，因此他需要被罚至发车格最后一位。
红牛在本周末早些时候曾表示，希望尽可能推迟做出潜在的动力单元更换决定。在本周末开始前，这支总部位于米尔顿凯恩斯的车队曾表示在英特拉格斯还不需要更换，但这一评估在周五发生了变化。
维斯塔潘遇到了几个“小问题”，这也导致他缺席了第二节练习赛最后六分钟。尽管红牛最初将此事完全归因于“不一致性”，但这一解释在当时听起来就已经很奇怪。
毕竟，提前结束练习也意味着维斯塔潘放弃了在略有坡度的发车格上进行练习发车的机会，而红牛今年的发车并不总是那么出色。维斯塔潘从小红牛22赛车中爬出后，立即有人看到机械师在车底工作。
周五晚上，红牛打破了宵禁，随后在周六正式确认了完整的引擎更换。
这意味着维斯塔潘在圣保罗将再次面临从后方追赶的局面，而他在那里有丰富的经验。例如去年，他从维修区起步最终登上领奖台，而在2024年，他从第17位发车夺冠，实际上终结了兰多·诺里斯那年的冠军雄心。2016年，维斯塔潘还在比赛尾声的雨中奉献了一场令人难忘的逆转驾驶，尽管那是在红牛选错轮胎之后发生的。
汉密尔顿当然也对巴西的传奇逆转驾驶并不陌生。2021年，他也不得不一路拼杀，而他两次以极其令人印象深刻的方式做到了这一点。这位七届世界冠军在冲刺赛中以第20位起步升至第五。正赛中，他被罚退至第10位发车，但即便如此也无法阻止他夺冠。
这一次，汉密尔顿如今效力的法拉利车队在若泽·卡洛斯·帕塞赛道（Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace）的日子要艰难得多。勒克莱尔称这是全年最艰难的周五之一，此后车队领队弗雷德里克·瓦塞尔也总结说，仍有大量工作要做。
“我们知道在平衡性上还有很多工作要做，”瓦塞尔说。“平衡性不好。我认为这里的路面与一周前正好相反。这带来了大量工作要做。
“车手们不满意。查尔斯今天上午没有参加第一节练习。我们今天遇到了几个问题，我认为明天有很多准备工作要做。明天和周日天气预报一般，所以我认为我们必须为所有情况做好准备。但我并不比上周更悲观。”
对两位车手来说，一线希望或许是仍预报有雨战，这可能有助于他们在赛场上向前推进。
塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯也换装了新的内燃机、涡轮增压器和MGU-K，因此他在周日的正赛中也将从队尾发车。

Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen hit with F1 grid penalties for Brazilian GP
Both Ferrari and Red Bull face a fight through the field in Sao Paulo after both teams decided to replace power unit components for the final leg of F1's Americas triple-header

Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen will all serve grid penalties for engine changes at Formula 1's Brazilian Grand Prix.
Following a tough set of Friday practice sessions, Ferrari has decided to perform a planned engine change on both Hamilton and Leclerc’s SF-26, costing them a 10-place grid penalty each for the Interlagos race. The Scuderia has decided to use a new internal combustion engine.
Meanwhile for Verstappen, it involves a complete power unit change and therefore a penalty to the very back of the grid.
Red Bull indicated earlier this weekend that it wanted to wait as long as possible before making a potential power unit change. Ahead of the weekend, the Milton Keynes-based outfit said that a change was not yet necessary at Interlagos, but that assessment changed on Friday.
Verstappen encountered several 'small issues', which also contributed to him sitting out the final six minutes of the second practice session. Although Red Bull initially attributed that purely to 'inconsistencies', the explanation already sounded strange at the time.
After all, ending practice early also meant Verstappen gave up the opportunity to carry out a practice start on the slightly uphill grid, while Red Bull's starts have not always been outstanding this year. After Verstappen climbed out of his RB22, mechanics were immediately seen working underneath the car.
On Friday evening, Red Bull broke the curfew, after which the complete engine change was officially confirmed on Saturday.
It means Verstappen faces another fight through the field in Sao Paulo, where he has plenty of experience with it. Last year, for example, he drove from the pitlane to the podium, while in 2024 he won from 17th on the grid, effectively ending Lando Norris's title ambitions that year. In 2016, Verstappen also produced a memorable comeback drive in the rain during the closing stages, although that followed a wrong tyre choice by Red Bull.
Hamilton, too, is of course no stranger to legendary comeback drives in Brazil. In 2021, he also had to fight his way through the field, something he managed twice in hugely impressive fashion. The seven-time world champion climbed from 20th to fifth in the sprint race. For the main race, he was dropped back to 10th on the grid, but even that could not stop him from taking victory.
This time, Hamilton's employer, now Ferrari, is having a much tougher time at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace. Leclerc described it as one of the most difficult Fridays of the year, after which team principal Frederic Vasseur also concluded that there was still plenty of work to do.
“We know that we have a lot to do on the balance," Vasseur said. "The balance was not good. I think the tarmac is the opposite of one week ago. It's creating a lot of work to do.
"The drivers were not happy. Charles didn't do FP1 this morning. We had a couple of issues today and I think a lot of work to prepare tomorrow. The weather forecast for tomorrow and Sunday is so-so, so I think that we have to be prepared for all the conditions. But I'm not less optimistic than last week."
One possible silver lining for both drivers is that a wet race is still forecast, which could potentially help their charge through the field.
Sergio Perez has also been equipped with a new internal combustion engine, turbocharger, and MGU-K, and therefore will also start from the back for Sunday's race.
