2022 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Yeah, the upgrades worked fine according to Binotto and both drivers.

No use in dwelling on the past. On to Monaco. I'm expecting a pole there too.

Complicates the penalty situation a lot long term especially with the upgraded components to come, and puts him out of sync with Sainz.

Difficult to say of course, but it seems very risky to me to reuse the ICE when both the turbo and MGU-H are damaged beyond repair. Perhaps this will be the cause of Leclerc’s inevitable Monaco GP DNF.

He's a very good lad really

That ICE got him to the pits so it still works. I think ICE 1 will be in the car for Monaco anyway

Weren’t there some reliability concerns with PU1 or am I misremembering things?

Race pace Ferrari totally dominated yesterday until it broke down, aside from the telemetry that was just showed here, I can provide further. Not only better tyre deg but just overall faster, Leclerc was on a 2 stopper would have finished with 20-30s on Max and 40+ on Lewis as Binotto said. Too bad the turbo broke.

Just to be clear, from lap 5 to 8 Leclerc gained a full 1s on Verstappen, then Verstappen spun out.

edit:
later on with mediums, Leclerc was a full 1-1.5s a lap faster than anyone else on track, did the 1.27.0 and engine failed. On 18 lap old softs he was as fast as Russell was on new mediums for the matter, it took lap 19 and 20 being sub par to change tyre on lap 21.

Ferrari investigation: turbo and MGU-H broke in Leclerc

Yeah, this is why Leclerc says he’s less downbeat than after Miami as he at least knows the pace was there.

However, I would clarify that *Leclerc* had the pace - Sainz pace seemed pretty poor. Perhaps part of it is strategy but despite his spin (which maybe we can say is somewhat understandable if Max did the same) he was still way ahead of Hamilton so to end up behind him (bar Mercedes’ reliability issues) is down to him not being fast enough.

That contract extension is probably looking a bit premature now.

His pace was poor because of floor damage from the spin. Loss of downforce meant balance issues and increased tire wear.

Don't think the contract extension was early at all. Calling it premature is what is premature. Its clear Ferrari values him as a driver despite any short term difficulties.

As its Monaco and the very last place you want to start from the back I think it the best option to go all new for this race, and decide later where to take a chance as overtaking would be easier in the race.
One way a lost qualli session knocks the car back, the other way a penalty does. Either is not good, but they can decide where not to take the risk, and I would put Monaco at the top of the list to not risk it.
