    ^^^ Shambolic headlines as expected. Funny how Vettel says that without the public at monza, he’ll suffer less. Ferrari are a joke. Oh the horror. The horror...

    Indeed. Monza will be bad for the team.

    And: Mugello, their 1000th GP anniversary on their home track will likely even be worse. Add insult to injury.

    Okay guys, some tech here (since 1986....thank-you Renault)


    Ferrari: Did the air leak cause engine problems?


    Image Unavailable, Please Login


    Charles Leclerc's SF1000 during the Belgian GP had to resort to two compressed air supplies during pit stops to compensate for a pressure loss in the pneumatic valve return system. If a gasket is broken, it must be checked that the 6-cylinder distribution system was not affected before the Italian GP in Monza.

    Charles Leclerc ended the Belgian GP with two top ups of air due to a leak in the pneumatic return system of the engine valves. The first team to introduce this solution in F1 was Renault in 1986 and since then all the engines have been equipped with this solution which made it possible to avoid the "flicker" of the valves, especially when the rpm had reached around 20,000 rpm. .

    On the SF1000 there is a cylinder of compressed air which is placed under the radiators in the left belly which feeds a high pressure system which allows the instant recall of the valves, having replaced the traditional springs, which are much heavier and less reliable.

    Each team knows exactly what the air consumption per lap is, so it happens that there may be a small leak in the system which can be remedied with a "top up" that can be carried out by a mechanic during the pit stop.

    Ferrari SF1000: the arrow points to the air top-up flap

    On the side of the Rossa, in fact, there is a flap that opens inwards (note the arrow indicating the opening) within which it is possible to "fill up" with air from a hand cylinder that is connected to the compressed air circuit, restoring pressure to a system that could otherwise cause the 6 cylinders to fail.


    Two interventions were required on Leclerc's Ferrari: the first on lap 10 which extended the stop to 10 ”4 and the second on lap 29 with a 5” 0 stop. The fact that an intervention was not enough indicates that the air loss was much greater than expected, a sign that a seal on the engine 2 of the Monegasque must have broken.

    Charles finished the race fourteenth behind his teammate, Sebastian Vettel, but the question that can be asked is whether the 065/2 suffered in the distribution system at times when the air pressure dropped worryingly?

    In short, could the reliability of Charles's engine be at risk for Monza, the “temple of speed” where the engines are in full swing for 79% of the lap?

    Frankly Bas, I've lost all hope. I've been following F1 since the mid 90s, and this current era is the worst. There's no progress. It's bland, there's no excitement, whatsoever. Each year, i hear, read, and think the same thing...'next year will be better'. I've been saying this since 2009. Enough.

    I don't blame you. I've not watched F1 as regularly as I can over the last couple of years. This year I've had numerous races where I just watched the start, watch a few laps then turn it off.

    Amazing to think that between 1999 - 2006, I only missed the 2006 French GP live. These days, i don't give a rat's sass
