These are not easy days for the Ferrari. The Maranello stable right now he is in fact in limbo: what to do with Charles Leclerc? Time is running out and Canada is getting closer, so, let's try to find out.
Ferrari, the penalty risk increases
One of the topics that has kept all Ferraristi in suspense in recent days is: Will Leclerc mount the new PU starting from the bottom? As you know, the Monegasque is due retire since Baku GP due to a Power Unit problem, precisely to the turbo, same exact situation as Catalunya GP. Breakage of that component, replacement of the piece, but no penalty. This choice is linked to the fact that the third unit out of the three available was installed for Baku. But now it's different: the Ferrari will have to decide whether to try to save the turbo o change it and take the penalty of 10 positions on the grill.
Which is the most validated of the ideas?
According to the latest, after various analyzes and careful studies a Maranello, the most accredited hypothesis would seem to be the second, or face the penalty. The reason for this choice? There are undoubtedly various reasons: the recovery of the piece seems practically impossible after that seen a Baku and the assembly of the turbo No 1 on PU Noo 3 it would not follow the rotation made by all teams during the season when using PU Noo 1 on Friday's FP, to cover the mileage. So 90% we will see the first penalty between the 2 top teams and it will be given to Red No 16 by Charles Leclerc.
Comeback race
However, we are still awaiting official communications from the Ferrari, but the choice would now seem to have been taken. A large part of Leclerc's race on Sunday will depend on this decision and, in the event of a penalty, the Monegasque will be called to a Comeback Grand Prix, to try to avoid the extension of Verstappen in the driver standings.
