Scuderia Ferrari is promoting a development program for the 2022 F1 machine.
According to the Italian sports newspaper La Gazzettadello Sport, Scuderia Ferrari aims to bring Charles Leclerc back to the lead of the world championships with the help of an updated F1 power unit.
The development, which will debut at the British Grand Prix next month, is reported to be an upgrade to the impressive new 2022 F1 engine electronic or “hybrid” parts.
Baku will reportedly have a minor car upgrade this weekend, a week later in Montreal, and an even more important aerodynamic upgrade at the spa in August.
When it comes to F1 engine upgrades, Silverstone’s electrical upgrades will be “the only area of power units that can still be improved under FIA regulations.”
“It’s not just horsepower, it’s the reliability that allows development.”
However, Charles Leclerc has run out of radix of allowed MGU-H units, so “If Ferrari replaces a component before Silverstone, a grid penalty will be incurred when an evolved version of the power unit is introduced. There is a possibility. “
Helmut Marko, a Red Bull F1 motorsport advisor, says that the performance of F1 engines used by the top three teams including Mercedes and Ferrari are all competing this year.
“I don’t think there’s any more of the weird engine power advantages that Lewis Hamilton’s engine had last year,” Helmut Marko told formel1.de.
Helmut Marko said Lewis Hamilton, especially George Russell, has recently become more competitive following a bad start to the season, saying “they aren’t doing this consistently.”
“That’s why it’s hard to guess where that lap time comes from, but listening to Mercedes gives the impression that they don’t even know it.”
“The danger is that Mercedes definitely has potential. If they can get more equipment than they are now, they will be able to return to the front line of the grid.”
