F1 2017: Power unit element usage

Just four of each element may be used during the season before a grid penalty is issued to the driver

With just four of each Power Unit element allowed before a penalty, which drivers are nearing grid drops and who is already well over their allocation?

The penalty for introducing a fifth of any element is a 10-place grid penalty, with a further five-places for each subsequent fifth element. The process repeats with a 10-place penalty for the first sixth element taken and so on.

And that could be key in the title fight.
