The abandonment of the first GP in Bahrain was added to a penalty for changing an electronic part of the car for the second time, further darkening the start of the season for the team.
Others bad news crown a A sad start to the season for Ferrari in Formula 1: at the abandonment of Charles Leclerc in the first Grand Prix, of Bahrain, has now received a very heavy penalty for violating category rules.
It is that the planning failed and forcing the team to change the same electronic component twice of his car, which is only allowed by regulations once a season. What happened thus led to a severe penalty reported on the F1 page: “(Leclerc) He will have at least a 10-position drop on the grid this Sunday -probably more if they change any other part- and increases the chances of receiving a new penalty later in the season.”
The part in question has been replaced in the Bahrain GP preview, unfinished for Leclerc due to a failure on that part, and then the technicians they should have changed it back Thinking of the next date in Saudi Arabia. They have no choice and they know they will receive punishment. The team leader admitted this, Frederic Vasseur, in the eye of the storm after the fact: “We had two problems. On Sunday morning, when it was started; and in the afternoon at the race. In both cases it is the control unit, the ECU, this has not happened to us before. Unfortunately, we have to accept the punishment in Jeddah, because we only have two control units for the season”.
The penalty is put back on the table who should be the team’s first driver that this year he dreamed of fighting for the title that had been denied him for 16 years. Carlos Sainz, the other figure, could not get on the podium in the first race but last year in Arabia, the challenge to come, with third place.
