It arrived there news that everyone was waiting for at the Ferrari house. It was performed in Maranello the analysis at the Power Unit which he abandoned Leclerc in Azerbaijan. Of course, the news is not good…
Analysis day
Yesterday a Maranello the Monegasque's Power Unit has arrived, and it was examined this morning. From the first investigations carried out, the results do not bode well: the internal combustion engine and turbo are completely gone. A nice cold shower in Maranello, above all because, based on what was reported by Motorsport.com, it would seem that the problem arose from a component that has never given problems. In fact, we are talking about an element which is not produced in Ferrari, but bought from a supplier.
Ferrari, how do you answer?
Bad news, but at the same time also conceivable. So… now what to do? The next stop is the Canada and Ferrari already has a couple of certainties. In fact, in Montreal, on the F1-75 of Leclerc will be fitted with a new power unit, while the possibility of use the turbo of Power Unit 1. However, considering the maximum of three Power Units per season, the risk of facing a penalty (perhaps even more than one), in the Ferrari house is really very high.
The Sainz problem
Much less doubts instead as regards the Carlos Sainz problem. A Baku, to stop the Spanish it was the pump that drives the hydraulic system. Therefore, the famous brake problem manifested and declared on the radio by the Spanish, at the moment of the stop, is part of a simple consequence of this problem.
Ferrari, it is now forbidden to give up
Atypical problems for the prancing Horse, which however were worth two zeros in Azerbaijan. In Maranello it will continue to work, considering the title fight with the Red Bull in constructors, and in pilots with Max Verstappen. Leclerc, and we are sure of this, will do anything to achieve it… reliability permitting.
