FIA telemetry shows only a small difference in power between Ferrari’s engine and the power units of other teams. FIA ​​telemetry recorded only a small difference in power .

An authoritative source who wishes to remain anonymous told Motorsport Italy that the FIA ​​telemetry recorded only a small difference in power between the controversial power unit of Scuderia Ferrari and the other engines, speaking of technological marketing done by other manufacturer who talk about ’70 horsepower more’.

Do you want to know the power delta that the FIA ​​has registered between the controversial Ferrari power unit and the competition? According to a very authoritative voice that wanted to remain anonymous, the 20 kW is not much higher, about 26-30 horsepower . The Motorsport Italy source pointed out the technicians of the International Federation are able to read all the telemetry data of the teams for which they got to record the anomalous data that have been reported both by Red Bull and by Mercedes.

Ferrari’s engine advantage is also due to an excellent strategy in the use of electrical energy and a very efficient aerodynamic concept. The Motorsport article implies that the numbers being thrown around by the other teams about the Ferrari engine are not reflected by the data seen. In essence, the “defensive” theories of Mattia Binotto are credited: the Ferrari team principal claimed that the SF90s had to resort to more downforce in the last GPs, thus generating more drag. In short, the data seen would suggest that there are those who are practicing excellent technical marketing, shooting numbers that are not reflected by the actual data.

But is it possible that “correct” telemetry information is sent to get around the flow meter? According to the Motorsport Italy interlocutor, no: if Ferrari ever succeeded in this, it was pointed out that we would see very different data from the engines of the customer teams and this is not the case, although the official units are certainly more pushed to the limits granted by the regulation.

The FIA ​​next year will add its own flow meter that will be calibrated by the federal technicians to remove any speculation regarding this situation, but so far nothing striking has emerged to trigger an alarm, so much so that it cannot even be seen as an investigation, but only controls that have never led to anything, except to paddock controversy.

The officials of the International Federation have invited those who had something to object to present a written complaint, but so far everything is silent.
