Monaco GP victor Daniel Ricciardo will be hit with multiple grid penalties at the upcoming Canadian GP.
Two weeks after claiming victory in F1's showpiece event despite a crippling loss of power from his Renault engine, the Red Bull driver is set to suffer a series of engine-related grid demotions in Montreal.
"Unfortunately, we will be taking penalties," Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey confirmed to Sky Sports News.
"With just a third of the season elapsed, Ricciardo has already used a significant chunk of his allowance for engine parts for the entire campaign with the size of his penalties in Canada this weekend set to be determined by just how many components will require changing after he guided his handicapped RB14 car to the chequered flag in Monaco.
"We could be suffering some quite big penalties," said Newey.
"We are only allowed two batteries etc and the system in that sense seems completely wrong."

"Lewis Hamilton can make history this weekend as he fights for his seventh Canadian GP victory, and the honour of being only the second driver to claim more than six wins at a single event.
Michael Schumacher did it in Canada with seven victories and even went one better in France. This weekend Hamilton stands a chance – and a good one at that – of writing his name up there with the legend’s"

For the sake of an entertaining season, I certainly hope not.

Unfortunately for me there is a very strong chance for `history` this weekend.....I get the (sickening) feeling Lewis will have one of his outstanding weekends and put the rest to shame

It's a circuit where lap time can be gained on the brakes. One of the reasons Hamilton has always gone well in Montreal. You could say he's a specialist. If the car is halfway decent I would not bet against him.
