梅赛德斯确认安东内利蒙扎将受罚退后发车
梅赛德斯决定为基米·安东内利更换全新动力单元，超出赛季配额，他将在主场意大利大奖赛从队尾发车。
梅赛德斯确认基米·安东内利在蒙扎将接受发车罚退
F1锦标赛领跑者基米·安东内利将在他的意大利大奖赛主场作战中从发车末位起步，因为梅赛德斯决定对其进行整套动力单元更换
梅赛德斯已正式决定，其锦标赛领跑者基米·安东内利将在即将到来的意大利大奖赛上从发车末位起步，因为车队决定为这位意大利车手更换一套超出其年度配额的新动力单元。
车手每个赛季最多可以使用四套动力单元，但梅赛德斯在上半赛季的可靠性问题意味着，其车手何时（而非是否）会超出配额并接受发车罚退一直是个问题。安东内利目前的V6引擎和排气系统已经达到使用上限，而拉塞尔的内燃机和涡轮增压器也都没有任何余量了。
安东内利原本将在两周后的蒙扎主场大奖赛面临发车位处罚，梅赛德斯现在正式确认将更换这位夺冠热门赛车的引擎。这位19岁车手将进行整套动力单元更换，这意味着他将从发车末位起步。
"对于基米，我们更换整套部件，" 沃尔夫确认道，否认了梅赛德斯可能考虑到蒙扎是安东内利的主场而有所顾虑的说法。
"从理论上讲，我们的计算表明这是更换引擎的最佳赛道。显然，我们的算法不会考虑国籍因素。但我们来这里是为了争夺总冠军，而不是为了获得最多的宣传曝光。所以，我们就是这么打算的。"
拉塞尔也将在之后的某个分站面临发车位处罚，不过布拉克利车队尚未决定这位英国车手将在哪站更换动力单元。拉塞尔刚刚在夏休期前的最后一站匈牙利大奖赛启用了他的第四套动力单元。这让他在里程分配上有更多灵活性，不过车队仍可能随时为其部件库增加第五套动力单元。
“关于乔治（George），我们还在讨论在哪里执行这个处罚，”沃尔夫（Wolff）说。蒙扎之后的下一个合适机会可能是巴库的阿塞拜疆大奖赛，这条赛道强调动力单元性能和最高速度，同时提供一些超车机会，以弥补发车位的退后。

Mercedes confirms Kimi Antonelli grid penalty in Monza
Formula 1 championship leader Kimi Antonelli will start at the back of the grid in his Italian Grand Prix home race as Mercedes has decided on a full power unit change
Mercedes has officially decided its championship leader Kimi Antonelli will start from the back of the grid at the upcoming Italian Grand Prix after it decided to give the Italian a new power unit, exceeding his allowance for the year.
Drivers are allowed to use up to four power units for the season, but Mercedes' reliability woes over the first half of the campaign meant it has always been a question of when, not if, its drivers were going to exceed that allowance and take a grid penalty. Antonelli is currently already at the limit with his V6 and exhaust system, while Russell has no more room for either a combustion engine or turbocharger.
Antonelli had been in line for a grid drop at his home race in Monza in two weeks' time, and Mercedes has now officially confirmed it will change the title favourite's engine. The 19-year-old is set for a full power unit switch, which sets him up for a back-of-the-grid start.
"With Kimi we are taking the full thing," Wolff confirmed, dismissing the notion that Mercedes could have been tempted to take into account Monza being Antonelli's home race.
"In theory, our calculations say that that's the best track to take it. Obviously, our algorithms don't take nationality into consideration. But we are here to fight for a championship and not get the most PR. So, that's what we are going to do."
Russell is also set for grid drop down the line, though the Brackley team hasn't decided yet where the Briton will swap power units yet. Russell only took his fourth power unit at the recent Hungarian Grand Prix, the final race before the summer break. That gives him more flexibility on mileage, though the team could still opt to add a fifth power unit to his pool of components at any time.
"With George, the discussions are ongoing about where to take it," Wolff said. The next suitable opportunity after Monza could be Baku's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which emphasises power unit performance and top speed while providing some overtaking opportunities to offset a grid drop.
