Ferrari’s Enrico Gualtieri has explained the extensive work that has gone into their new power unit for 2021, addressing a major weakness from last year. Ferrari’s uncompetitive 2020 was mainly down to an uncompetitive power unit, with the team hobbled by an underpowered engine after a string of Technical Directives were handed down by the FIA at the end of 2019.
These Directives were aimed at Ferrari’s controversial power unit, in which the FIA weren’t completely satisfied by the legality of the engine – the finger mainly being pointed at the fuel flow rate being exceeded without detection.
The allegations were never properly proven, but the fact remains that Ferrari’s engine became their weak link in 2020.
