Summary

The FIA Technical Delegate reports that Gabriel Bortoleto has used new power unit elements beyond his seasonal allowance, while other drivers' new parts are within compliance.

Explanation

This Technical Delegate's Report, issued for the 2026 United States Grand Prix, documents new Power Unit (PU) elements used by several drivers. Gabriel Bortoleto (Audi) has exceeded his seasonal allowance for multiple components: a fifth ICE, fifth TC, fifth EXH, fourth MGU-K, fifth ES, fifth PU-CE, and seventh PU-ANC. These exceedances are noted as not in compliance with the respective clauses of Article B8.2.2 of the Formula One Sporting Regulations, which will likely lead to a grid penalty. In contrast, the new exhaust sets for Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas (Cadillac Ferrari) are within their allowed allocation and are in compliance.
