FIA reveal details of parts changes to Verstappen's Red Bull

Verstappen damaged his Red Bull in a last corner crash in qualifying

The FIA has revealed details of the parts replaced on Max Verstappen's Red Bull after his crash in the final stages of qualifying.

After locking a brake into the final corner of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Verstappen put his Red Bull into the concrete wall to end a lap that was on course to score the Dutchman pole position.

Despite initial fears that a gearbox change would be required, a change that would bring about a five-place grid penalty, Red Bull has opted against a change after conducting thorough checks.

The list of changed components, however, is not a short one with numerous suspension pieces topping the list.

Confirmed by the FIA, the right side of the Red Bull has required a new rear track rod, rear top wishbone, rear lower wishbone and rear upright assembly.

On the left, only a new front upright gaitor was needed.

Given the impact went through both the front and rear of the car, a new steering rack has also been fitted as well as rear brake friction material.
