Ferrari Formula 1 drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Lecl🥃erc have taken on new power units for this weekend’s 70th Anniversary at ℱSilverstone.

Both drivers SF1000’s have been fi💯tted with new Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), turbo and MGU-H components after Vettel suffered a failure during Friday practice.

Ferrari confirmed the changes made to Leclerc’s car are just a pre𒊎caution and the team will face no penalties with the component alterations falling within their permitted allocations for the season.

“After yesterday's enꦑgine failure on Sebastian’s car, as a precaution we have changed🐽 Charles’ PU,” a Ferrari statement confirmed.

“This is also penalty free as we have🌃 not exceeded the number of components allowed in the regulations.”

Vettel’s Ferrari ground to a halt in the latter stages of the second practice session at Silverstone, with his caಞr leaking o🐎il down the old start-finish straight before he pulled over at Copse.

The four-time world champion described the issue as a “big failure” and said he had “no warning” of a problem before his Ferrari conked out𒁃.
