Motorleverancier Honda neemt voor de Grote Prijs Formule 1 van België de vierde specificatie motor mee. Nog niet voor Max Verstappen, maar voor Daniil Kvyat en Alexander Albon. Zij lopen dus op het circuit van Spa-Francorchamps tegen een gridstraf aan. Verwacht wordt dat Verstappen deze nieuwe krachtbron in Italië in gebruik zal nemen. Technische directeur Toyoharu Tanabe geeft in zijn voorbeschouwing uitleg over de nieuwe motor.

"We brengen de vierde specificatie van onze PU (power unit) mee naar deze race", aldus Tanabe. "Als gebruikelijk focussen we ons op het verbeteren van de betrouwbaarheid en de prestatie. We hopen op betere resultaten voor beide teams. Het plan is om alleen Albon en Kvyat de nieuwe motor in Spa te laten gebruiken en dat is om strategische redenen en met het oog op de rest van het seizoen."
