Personally, i think it is the fact that Sauber have compromised so much on the installation of the Ferarri 056 that the car is actually better suited to its intended engine the BMW P86/9. Liken it to the Brawn BGP001, it hit it lucky with the Mercedes FO108W that it wasnt too much of a compromise, probably arround 03 of a second of a compromise per lap in reality. But if the BGP001 had the RA809 engine in it it would have been much more faster in reality.marcush. wrote:Sauber happy with Engine supply?It was never communicated if all those failures were Ferrari responsibility.they had appalling reliability never heard before off since joining f1..ESPImperium wrote:De La Rosa sent to back of the grid after becoming the first driver to exceed the 8 engine limit by using his 9th engine of the season.
I think the C29 is compromised in its cooling and demands on the 056 in reality. Maybes if BMW could have supplied engines for one more year it would have been better for the package. But we saw last year that both BMWs had problems as well, Heidfeld used 9 blocks and Kubica had used 5 blocks for Silverstone. And the C29 has DNA in the F1.09. I sence a potential packageing issue. James Key should solve it all for 2011 i think.
