(Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images) With the 2022 F1 season in full swing and set to return to racing at the famed Circuit de Spa Francorchamps this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix, drivers and teams are gearing up to go racing. This comes after a nearly month-long break. Thirteen races into the season with ten more to go, the driver's championship standings are led by Red Bull Racing's Max Vertappen. Ferrari and Charles Leclerc failed to mount a significant attack on the Milton Keynes-based racing outfit. Formula 1@F1Eau my word! #BelgianGP #F110931854Eau my word! #BelgianGP #F1 https://t.co/xtjvmwCoUa After kicking off the year in spectacular fashion with a 1-2 finish in Bahrain, Ferrari's 2022 season was compromised before the summer break due to various reasons. Driver errors, questionable strategic calls, and mechanical failures sit atop that list. Every driver on the F1 grid is allowed a certain number of power unit components over the season. The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE), Energy Store (ES), Turbo Charger (TC) and Exhaust System (EX) are some of the few components that make up a complete power unit. Leclerc, who has already taken on a penalty for using more than the allocated parts in his engine, served a penalty during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. He now looks set for the latter half of the 2022 season. However, numerous other drivers are yet to take on a fresh engine and/or engine components in the second half of the year, with 10-place grid penalites looming over half their heads.
