Valtteri Bottas need to change the engine due to a fuel leak. Mercedes reports the news via Twitter.
The engine change does not result in a possible grid penalty. The Finn has two more engines in his pool and Mercedes will choose one of those engines as a replacement. The only question is whether it was replaced in time for qualifying to start.

UPDATE: We had a fuel leak on Valtteri’s Power Unit at the end of FP3.
Without sufficient time to diagnose and resolve the leak, we are swapping the PU for another unit from the pool. ????️ pic.twitter.com/DET92DoPWT
