Analysis completed. Ferrari has in fact analyzed the Power Unit on Charles Leclerc's car which forced him to training camp a Barcelona.
From domination to disaster
We all remember Leclerc's radio team. The Monegasque, total dominator of yesterday's race in Barcelona, it opened on the radio around 28esimo tour exclaiming: “noooo“. A blow to the heart, for all Ferrari fans. In fact, it is enough to think that the number sixteen of the runway was in total control of thethe Grand Prix. International directing also had stopped framing it, which makes it clear what kind of race the Monegasque was playing.
A burning retreat
So it clearly does male. Ferrari passed away for the first time in season on reliability. Considering that we are in the sixth race of the season, it is a problem that can exist. After all, to think about running a full season without looming over an issue like that pretty much felt like it impossible.
Ferrari: "MGU-H and turbo damaged"
However, the situation is a bit worrying if it is the Power Unit that is damaged. TO Maranello in this regard, today, the engine of the F1-75 of the Monegasque was analyzed highlighted the following problem.
“After examining the PU of Leclerc's car, we have found that the turbo and the MGU-H are damaged and cannot be repaired. However, after fully analyzing the failure and its cause, we are satisfied to report that the failure did not occur due to a design error or a reliability issue of these two components or any other element of the PU.”
And now, what to do?
This is what was stated by statement Ferrari. All that remains now is to understand what the fate of Leclerc's Power Unit might be. We recall that the Monegasque had already mounted the second unit, out of the three available before you go meeting the penalty. It is not excluded that for Monaco components can be reused of engine 1.
Ferrari doesn't fit
However, one thing seems to be certain: with a season like this, the maximum of 3 Power Units seems to be too few, as stated by the team principal of the red Mattia binotto.
“Three is very little to manage a season. The proved it Mercedes last year and also Honda. I believe Mercedes went as far as to use up to six. It's true that we only used three last year, but we were doing another championship. It will not be surprising if we reach four, while others last year had reached six. So that of the three units is a threshold that costs penalties on the grid if you exceed it, but that doesn't mean you can't manage them".
