2022 Azerbaijan GP: Charles Leclerc to use Power Unit 2 with new turbo and MGU-H. Charles to use PU 2 with new turbo and MGU-H.

With the disappointment of Monaco now behind them, Scuderia Ferrari is preparing to face the challenges of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the eighth round of the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship.

The Baku International circuit is notoriously a Red Bull stronghold, but the Maranello team is obviously willing to do everything possible and reverse the trend.

To make this happen, Motorsport reports that the Maranello team would have a very specific plan in mind. Below are the latest news about Charles Leclerc’s F1-75 that will hit the track over the weekend.

Taking stock of the situation at Ferrari in view of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Franco Nugnes, chief editor of Motorsport.com, first of all reports: “The simulations tell the technicians that the Ferrari car can also be competitive in Baku, a city track that is characterized by a long straight of 2.2 km in which the engines are at full capacity for over 26 seconds “.

In this regard, he adds: “The Scuderia with Charles Leclerc will return to using the second power unit, that is to say the newer one with fewer kilometers (it made its debut in Miami) which will be updated with a new turbo and MGU-H, the two elements that failed at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, causing the Monegasque driver to retire while he was dominating the race. The efficient hybrid system is important because the Azerbaijani Circuit is the track that allows the greatest electric charging on the calendar. ”

Finally he concludes: “Baku needs performance and reliability if Max Vestappen and Red Bull are to be put in difficulty: Ferrari, on a track very sensitive to power and conditioned by consumption, must be able to counter the best top speeds of the RB18 that in Spain were superior by only 3 km / h “.
