I expect both LEC and SAI having to take maybe 3 new PU's for the rest of the season, so having to start quite a few times lower on the grid.
Now is an interesting point to review as we're exactly at the middle of the season (11 GP's completed from the total of 22):
Checo has been on his 2nd PU for a while now
Max has been on his 2nd PU for maybe 2 races?
LEC has been on his 4th PU for a while now (since montreal)
SAI gets his 4th PU in France.
So if this useage is linear, LEC needs another 4 PU's (4 grid penalties), SAI needs at least 3 PU's (3 grid penalties), Checo maybe 2 PU's (so maybe 1 grid penalty) and Max might be the only one to finish the season without grid penalties (from these 4 drivers)
So this might become a championship deciding factor.
