Force India: Ocon won't need new engine for Monaco

Force India have confirmed that Esteban Ocon will not need to take a new engine for the Monaco Grand Prix after the cause of his retirement in Spain was caused by an oil leak. It will be music to the Frenchman's ear as Monaco is the one circuit you do not want to serve a grid penalty at.

Ocon's Spanish Grand Prix was cut short after a fairly anonymous race, the Force India man's afternoon marred by a slow pitstop put an end to an unremarkable weekend.

The team were worried that the issue may have been down to an internal combustion unit failure however, they traced the problem to an oil leak and thankfully for them, a software failsafe was able to prevent any further damage to the power unit.

Mercedes then is still the only power unit provider on the grid yet to have to bin any parts due to failures, with Ferrari, Renault and Honda all suffering from some form of issue at some point in the season.
