A new engine for Charles Leclerc?
Misfortunes continue for Ferrari. The Italian team will surely have to use a new engine for Charles Leclerc's car after the damage caused by the accident with Lance Stroll.
A new setback for Ferrari and Charles Leclerc. The collision between Stroll’s car and Leclerc’s caused a lot of damage to the Ferrari. Unfortunately, the engine was hit. The team will likely have to use a fourth engine later in the season, which will result in grid penalties. In a statement released on Tuesday, the Italian team said that the engine could no longer be repaired.
The examination of SF21 No.16 carried out yesterday in Maranello revealed that, in addition to this, the engine was irreparably damaged and can no longer be used, following the impact of Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin.
This problem arises after Mattia Binotto, the team manager, proposed a solution regarding the costs of accidents.
It’s another tough blow for Scuderia Ferrari and the Monegasque driver. This damage has financial implications and race repercussions, as with twelve races left this season, it is highly likely that the team will be forced to use a fourth ICE on Charles’ SF21, resulting in grid penalties.
