Mercedes is looking for the cause of Antonelli's engine failure.

      Andrea Kimi Antonelli was unable to finish in Barcelona due to a power plant failure. Now it has been delivered to the base, engineers are investigating the causes, but it is already clear that this failure may affect the schedule of scheduled engine replacements for the Italian racer.

      James Allison, Mercedes technical director: "We don't know yet what exactly went wrong in the power plant. She returned to Brixworth, where she will be disassembled, they will find out what is out of order, and they will develop recommendations for the entire pool of racing engines, not only for us, but also for the client teams.

      Hopefully, we won't see a repeat of these rejections in the rest of the season. We will conduct the necessary tests to ensure the reliability of the power plant.

      The engine will probably have to be replaced next race weekend, and so far we will not receive any penalties, as we have not yet reached the maximum number of allowed replacements, but we are only a third of the season behind us, so this replacement will increase the load on our remaining engines if we have to stretch their life to the end of the year. We will consider how best to allocate the remaining resources."
