Rob Huff receives engine change penalty in Argentina

Münnich Motorsport’s Rob Huff will start from the back of the grid for the first race tomorrow after his team have been forced to change his engine after Free Practice 2.

The reigning world champion’s car stopped out on track in the second practice session after struggling throughout the morning with an engine anomaly. The team have decided to change the engine ahead of qualifying which earns the Englishman a grid penalty.

Along with Honda’s Tiago Monteiro, who has also changed his engine this weekend, Huff will start from the back of the grid for race one whilst his qualifying result will still be used to determine his grid position for race two.
