well earlier reports said it was a part that was not considered at risk and from a third party supplier. Perhaps a bad batch of valves? That's the best case scenario.
Another solution is cooling through aero, but that also usually sacrifices performance.
and were they not able to tell the valves were disintegrating after Spain?
If a valve had damaged Leclerc' PU2 in Spain, then they would have had to repair the PU2 to use it in Baku, probably with a damaged cylinder head and possibly even a piston, it seems to me that this is not allowed.
It seems to me that it is the mgu-h which damaged the turbo in Spain (then damaged by heat), without any damage on the ICE
What valve (s) were damaged??? Exhaust or Intake??? Usually when a valve or valves get damaged or bent means it is usually a timing issue--> meaning the cam gear (again either exhaust or intake) skipped a tooth or two there-by bending the valve(s) or damaging the valve(s) by hitting the top of the cylinder head.
It's not how start but how you finish.
In Baku, we do not know if it is a valve problem, I think someone has been looking for a link between the turbo and the ICE and has issued this theory. Without necessary looking for any distribution timing issue, it is possible that an element broke in the combustion chamber or air intake and destroyed the turbo (and probably valve(s) on it's way) . It can be a valve itself, but it can also be a ring or something else
All we know for now is that it was not a critical part and it was a different issue from the Spain one

The video was implying that on the post injection phase because of tracks like Baku and Spain where your on power most of the time. Ferrari is using less fuel on the post injection phase to cool the engine thus overheating the chamber and damaging the valve which in this case started to break and parts of it going in the turbo and damaging it as well. The reason for using less fuel to cool the chamber is to save and keep some of it to stay on power for more time during the GP.
The mapping was aggressive to compete with Red Bull that is why Maxipad could not touch us on the straight even with DRS that and LDW helped too of course.
What is the weather forecast for Canadian GP? Hopefuly dry.

Remember there parts of the engine were run at pre season testing in much cooler conditions. The temp in Spain and Baku were much hotter the slightest fault in the piston cylinder champers will cause this to fail dramatically when being run at high speeds combined with hotter temps.I believe the fix is not to complex.I expect ferrari to come back strongly.
That is what is reported and the foul thing about this, is the certification of said part was made by the supplier themselves. You are bound to go wrong with such practice. And lo and behold, what has happened.well earlier reports said it was a part that was not considered at risk and from a third party supplier.
IMHO, they need to fix the issue and find a certification process that involves someone trustworthy outside the supplier.

Well first of all we may well need rain and hope Verstappen spins off or something. Wild hail mary to catch the gap.
I think it's fine to accept that we do not have a car capable of winning the championships. Let's hope we can keep Merc behind us.
Forza Ferrari

It seems that way, at least with our reliability issues we have as well as penalties that Charles may encounter when getting extra power unit related parts later in the season
If we get more wins and give Maxipad a run for his money this season while we concentrate on bringing a beast of an engine and refine our car concept package even more for 2023 I’d be really happy....@nd hopefully that will be a beast
Of course I really wanted us to win this season especially after the promising winter tests as well as the good start of the year....
Oh well, it is what it is
