Ferrari has revealed that Carlos Sainz Jr. will be taking an engine penalty at the Turkish GP which will result in him starting from the back of the grid. Ferrari is upgrading Sainz with a new engine that gets a new hybrid system that develops around 10-15 bhp more which more or less reduces the straight-line speed advantage of the Mercedes and Honda-powered cars. Charles Leclerc took a similar penalty in Russia after changing his power unit and even though his race was ruined by last-minute rain, he reported that he was able to follow Max Verstappen, whose Red Bull had a Honda power unit. . Leclerc had overtaken him even once.
Ferrari said in a statement: “Like Charles Leclerc in Russia, Carlos Sainz will be taking a new powertrain to Turkey with the new hybrid system. Ferrari has been fond of it since the end of the 2019 season, when technical specifications replaced its class-leading engine. paralyzed, causing its 2020 car to be compromised as its aerodynamics concept could not account for the low powered engine. In-season engine development was halted and therefore aerodynamic development was limited due to COVID19 which caused further problems Ferrari was hit harder than other teams as Italy was devastated by the first wave of the pandemic and Ferrari had to close its factories in Maranello longer than other teams.
Sainz has been extremely impressive at Ferrari this year and Leclerc is scoring
In 2021, ground effect aerodynamics regulations were to be introduced, but the FIA simply decided to delay the changes, meaning Ferrari could not make extensive changes to its car and while its power unit was so crippled that it only took half The share retained performance lost in 2019. But slowly, Ferrari has found a way to fix the performance and become competitive again. It has scored two pole positions and its drivers were in the running to win the race at least twice. Even in the Russian GP, Sainz was leading the race for a while and then finished P3 on the podium for the third time this year.
Ferrari is working on an ambitious new engine for 2022 as engine development freezes for 4 years. This new hybrid system is a part of this upcoming change due in 2022 and Ferrari is prototyping it on the SF21 and it has seen good results. Next year the cars are going to be so different that many at Ferrari may have a shot at developing a world championship-winning car. For the same reason, Mattia Binotto will not attend the Turkish GP as he focuses on development at the factory for 2022.
0 notes
Ferrari are 17.5 points behind McLaren for P3 in the constructors – but most of this is due to a McLaren 1-2 finish at Monza, Ferrari’s home track, which is particularly punishing on cars that don’t have the most powerful engines. In Russia, when Leclerc updated its engine, it wasn’t getting the maximum out of the engine due to reliability concerns and the boost was around 8bhp, but that could change later this week.
