Since then, however, Ferrari has been overhauled in terms of speed as well as reliability. Charles Leclerc has suffered 2 DNFs in the last 3 races and has conceded 80 points to Max Verstappen in the last 5 races. Speaking about the plight Ferrari faces at the moment, former F1 driver Giedo Van Der Garde had this to say:
Van Der Garde also mentioned how Carlos Sainz was putting too much pressure on himself in his pursuit to try and beat Leclerc because of which errors were creeping in. He said:
Hard to conclude that Ferrari has a power unit problem
The Italian squad was the epitome of consistency and reliability in F1 at the start of the season. Ever since the engine blowout at Barcelona for Charles Leclerc, there have been more and more issues with the power unit, leading to a scenario where questions are being raised if there is an intrinsic issue with it after all.
Giedo Van Der Garde feels it’s hard to jump to that conclusion already and a few more races are required to make an educated remark on the situation with the power unit. He said:
The Italian squad is on a 5-race losing streak at the moment and will be hoping to turn things around at the Canadian GP.
