    Every driver has a period of time at which they are past their competitive peak. There are a lot of drivers on the 2019 grid who have reached that point...Grosjean, Magnusen, Hulkenberg, Ricarrdo, Perez, Stroll, Alonzo, Kimi, sadly Kubica, and joining them is Seb. All these drivers know the sport and how to win...but they (and/or their teams) just aren't able to do it.

    Seb has some more podiums left in him but the team should rightfully get behind Leclerc.

    Awwwww, Kylie brightens up any thread don’t you think?... how cute can a girl be in her 40’s, she’s one a few women that truly pull off the feat of looking as good in her 40’s as in her 20’s. In fact, I’m not so sure she isn’t just in her sweet spot tushy wise!

    I have always said this, Vettel is a one trick poney. He is very good at leading from the front in the best car. We have more than enough proof now. I always felt it was a bad decision for Ferrari to hire him. I had high hopes for Kimi but he seemed "too" content to play the second fiddle. It is invigorating to see Leclerc in Scuderia. I really hope the team does not get in his way because they are too wed to the idea that Vettel is driver #1.

    Why can't they rebuild the motor? Sure it is faster to replace, but if you can retain the same block and heads, logically, it shouldn't count towards the used motor count. The same goes for turbos, MGU-K...

    Leclerc's engine issue in Bahrain has been examined in Maranello: it seems like it was caused by an injector failure that stopped carrying fuel in the cylinder. The PU itself is not damaged and can be used in the Chinese GP.

    Ferrari: why did an injector on the Leclerc engine crash in Bahrain?

    The indicted pieces have already been examined in Maranello. It seems that the 6-cylinder turbo has not been damaged and can be used in the Chinese GP. In Maranello they wonder what sent the Marelli injector into crisis, which has never given the least reliability problem.

    The details that led to the problem that forced Charles Leclerc to reduce the pace in the final part of the Bahrain GP, while he was building the first historic victory over the Red Army, have already been examined by Maranello engineers.

    Mattia Binotto, Ferrari team principal, had already said this after the scorching disappointment of Sunday that the technical problem was not derived from the hybrid power unit 064 system, but from a combustion problem to a cylinder. To be precise, the fourth of the 6-cylinder turbo.

    At Giro 46 of the 57 planned at Sakhir an injector suddenly stopped bringing fuel into the cylinder with the planned multi-injections and Charles's engine lost well over a sixth of the power of the endothermic engine, we talk about something that surpasses abundantly 120 horses.

    Because in addition to not helping to generate power, the "off" cylinder caused additional friction in the absence of gasoline and it went well that in the last few rounds it did not suffer damage, so much so that it can be used in free practice on the Chinese GP.

    To all this we need to add the reduced electrical recharge of the ERS system: with less thrust of the turbine it was inevitable that the recharging of the MGU-H was inadequate compared to the previous laps, when the Monegasque was already traveling with a “safe” engine mapping of absolute tranquility, while in the early stages of the race, when Charles had to make up for the mistake in power, he almost used the full functionality of the power unit.

    The total power loss, therefore, was significantly higher than the 120 horses mentioned above and Leclerc was very good at incorporating the indications given to him by the radio box wall by acting meticulously on the steering wheel-computer handles. .

    Initially the capacity of the fuel was increased to the five functioning cylinders: on the one hand the engine was to be preserved so that the problem could not possibly be enlarged to another cylinder: in this condition Charles was able to keep a step on the '39 "That would have allowed him to fight for second place.

    Too bad that the consumption of gasoline went out of parameters and with that pace the SF90 would have remained dry before the finish line, so it was decided, rightly, to move to a much more conservative mapping.

    The question that Maranello's engineers ask is why the Magneti Marelli injector went into crisis, a detail that has never given the least problem to Ferrari engines.

    The Scuderia has long used TJI “double anchor” type injectors which also incorporate the spark plug in the pre-chamber. It is a complex but always perfectly reliable realization. So what could have happened? Perhaps the use of Shell gasolines that are particularly “pushed” with molecules capable of giving more chemical power, but which perhaps put some components to a harder test.

    All in all, beyond the scorching disappointment of Leclerc who saw his first F1 victory disappear with the second GP with the Rossa, Ferrari can look to the future with a certain optimism:
    despite the serious technical problems, the Monegasque guy brought at home a podium that will be invaluable in the economy of the Championship.

    And if no more surprises emerge, even the 6-cylinder Charles should have been saved, so once you replace the injector that went ko, everything should return to normal, avoiding that the third GP should already go to unit 2 .

    Toto Wolff bets that Ferrari will reduce power in China to find reliability, while Mattia Binotto has ruled out this possibility. E sarà di nuovo sfida in pista… And it will be a challenge on the track again ...
