Ferrari Power Unit Hardware & Software

[FDD]

I thought upgrades were not allowed??

Binotto:
"From now until the end of the season we will bring an evolution of the engine, this year's regulation allows us to bring a completely new power unit in all its elements, we at the beginning of the season brought some elements, but not the entire power unit. there will be some new elements, developed in the second part of the season, which we believe can give us a small contribution on the performance front, indeed, not too small, it will be significant ".

I think that from the Bunotto's statement everything is clear about the allowed PU updates.

I think if he's purposely stating that the upgrade will be a significant one, maybe ferrari might catch up to merc or honda this season. They're around 25 hp down rn.
And then there's the completely new PU for 22.. maybe ferrari does have a chance to lead the PU front next year?

Maximum that I hope is to recover about 20-25HP. They were down about 25HP (according to the data presented on the net), but since Honda and MERC went up I do not have info about the difference.
For next year, yes like Ferrari fan I hope that they'll be at least on pair

If this was intentional (to not introduce the elements at the start of the season) and not just that they weren't developed in time, I think it's genius.

Quote from Binotto:

That will be for us, a significant step for the end of the season. But more important for us, it will be experience in view of 2022.

They were developing these parts with 2022 in mind, and decided they can get some real world, on-track testing of these parts. This SHOULD give them a strong advantage over the competition.

Maybe I a wrong, I am not an engineer at the end of the day.
But since the upgradewill be purely on the electrical side, I don't see how they can gain 20-25bhp
If I understand it correctly, what they expect is the max bhpthe ICE can produce + MGU-K for longer periods during the lap. But again, I might be wrong.

Why do we presume that the new engine won’t be ready for Spa? As I read it, Binotto is saying “from NOW until the end of the season,” doesn’t that imply it’ll be ready from the next race?

So the increase is about 10hp according to some.

Its in italian, but auto translate works just fine

I would take Nugnes articles with pinch of salt.

Nugnes infos ? I would take it cautiously

Yes, I am not an engineer too...
Also only in Ferrari knows on which part of PU they'll bring the updates, maybe they don't use the possibility to upgrade all the parts of the ICE, so nobody can know where are the updates until they tell us, if they do.

100% it's ers components that are being upgraded, or maybe the turbo. No way they're running 2020 ICE, that would be way too obvious and they would be nowhere near as competitive as they are. That thing was a complete failure.

If what Mika Salo said was true, 2020 pu was penalised with lower fuel flow. So maybe engine wasn't as bad as you think. And it looked even worse because of draggy car

Not really, it is technically the only explanation that really makes sense to me.
Ferrari was miles ahead in ICE power. Miles in this case is a few percent. These few percent were tricked with fuel and whatever trick it was, it was small. They would not have been miles ahead with an inefficient engine. The engine was good and the trick brought it to the top.
With the removal of the trick you can explain to be slightly behind Merc or Honda and on level of Renault...but not being suddenly significantly behind Renault.

Only in this case would ICE upgrade make sense.
