Both Red Bulls will take a ten place grid drop at their home race after exceeding their engine quota for the year at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Each driver is limited to four of the various power unit components before being penalised and both Red Bull drivers have been teetering on the brink of using a fifth internal combustion engine for some time. The team confirmed via Twitter that both Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat would use new engines at the Red Bull Ring this weekend.
