True, but if his current engine problem is something that can be rectified and pose little or no risk, why take a new engine for the last 2 races? Seems like an expensive decision, if it’s not necessary. 4th place is secure, so focus should be fully on 2020 and save cost on anything not related to next year and development.
If they need to build a PU for this, agree, but I´d say they must have some spare PU just in case some fail and they need a replacement, so if the PU is already built, why not using it? In next GP wich is last GP it will become obsolete and useless so I see no reason to use a new PU for this and last race if we assume they have some spare
As far as my knowlidge goes, new engine is not costing Mclaren nothing. It is a burden of Renault. Supply contract means 4 working engines, every failure is on suppliers expense, since their hardware has failed.
Thanks for pointing that out wasn’t aware. According to Fabrega, there’ll likely be new elements for today.

Sainz is on Hards. However will he manage till the end? They are used for some laps.Can he pass Gasly and Grosjean and keep them behind? Also curious to see if Norris goes on a passing frenzy now with the fresh softs.

He is on mediums. And yes Norris is closing in fast...
Norris is destroying the opposition with the fresh tyre. Let's see how many places will he get. Also bravo for Sainz passing Grosjean. However with the used Medium he can't catch Gasly.
Let's see if Sainz has one more chance to get that place from Gasly. Still even if he finishes 5th I hope there are still naysayers who don't think Mclaren is clearly the 4th fastest team considering Sainz is running with a used Medium compared to it's rivals in front and back running with fresher tyres.
