Carlos Sainz Jr. may have had his best weekend with Ferrari in the Russian GP, but he is in for a bit of pain at the Turkish GP, where he is up for an engine replacement grid penalty. Ferrari will equip Sainz with its newly upgraded engine that was deployed on Charles Leclerc’s car in Russia. This means that even if it will have a better power unit and won’t duck on the Straits like Russia, it will have to start at the back of the grid. Prior to Russia, Ferrari had a power deficit of around 20 bhp for cars equipped with Honda or Mercedes power units. The upgraded hybrid unit has reportedly given the Ferrari a boost of somewhere between 10 and 15 bhp and has largely closed the competition gap. This was seen at the pace Leclerc had his race in Sochi ruined only by rain when he did not pit for the intermediate tyres in time.
Sainz currently leads Charles Leclerc in the championship
Ferrari is 18.5 points behind McLaren for P3 in the constructors, but now that both of its drivers have a new engine, they will be able to compete better against McLaren for the P3 spot. The update to the engine is part of a broader engine development plan Ferrari has underway for the 2022 season followed by an engine development freeze until 2026. Ferrari plans to have the leading engine in F1 in the 2022 season and has successfully tested new hybrid technology that has helped boost the SF21’s power unit.

In 2019, Ferrari had the best power unit, but fuel flow regulations were reportedly flouting and technical regulations issued by the FIA had paralyzed its engine. Its car concept for 2020 was hitched and it couldn’t get around this issue because of a development freeze thanks to the pandemic. In 2021, it offered an interim solution to the problem while restructuring internally and redeveloping its engine technology.
