As Ferrari looks to take a step forward in Jeddah, the Italian squad has given its drivers a boost ahead of qualifying and the grand prix.
Ferrari has decided to make a significant modification to Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s cars for the rest of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. After Friday’s practice in Jeddah, Ferrari chose to install new power units in both drivers’ cars, involving changes to the combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, and MGU-K, while leaving the control electronics and energy store unchanged. This adjustment is the first of its kind for Ferrari’s power unit setup this year. Despite a challenging practice day on Friday, with Hamilton finishing 13th, he aims to secure a position in the top 10 during qualifying to avoid early elimination.
