Ferrari: Vettel in qualifying, was remounted the engine # 1!
In the smoke screen that accompanies the information coming out of the Stable, yesterday had to wait for the statement from the FIA to know that on SF70H Vettel was remounted the first motor and not the # 3. While the Mercedes ...
Evening Surprise in Montmelo. When the FIA has released information regarding the news on the front power unit in the qualifying session of the Spanish Grand Prix it has emerged that Ferrari had decided to use on the car of Sebastian Vettel the thermal engine number 1.
We recall that the German driver was forced to stop in the course of FP3 session due to a problem at the 6-cylinder number 2 just mounted on its SF70H. The Ferrari before qualifying has not released official statements, but it was leaked the news that the technicians of the Horse were racing against time to mount the heat engine number 3.
Then in the evening the surprise, when it emerged from the FIA document that Ferrari decided to use the engine number 1, combined with the turbo number 4, since there is no time to extract the number 3 from the power unit disassembled after the morning problems. Ditto for the MGU-H, came as the third of the four specimens available for the season.
A similar situation occurred on the eve of the FP3 session in the house Mercedes when creating problems had been the power unit No. 2 of Valtteri Bottas. In this case, the Mercedes has been informed that it would be replaced with the number 1, not leaving space assumptions.
Not so at Ferrari, effectively creating misunderstandings that would have been easily avoided. The second position of Vettel in qualifying was rated as a performance obtained with a fresh engine, when in fact Seb has torn an important result even with an engine with more than about three thousand kilometers assets.
Even the management of the power unit of the Scuderia is sounded alarm in evaluating erroneously that the fifth race of the season was already in the track, the third of the four thermal units available for the entire championship. Two misinformation, which drew a different context from what actually went on stage in the afternoon in Barcelona. But for whose benefit?
