The re♓liability issues forced Ferrari to turn their engines down during the second half of the year and ultimately hastened their defeat to Red Bull in both world championships.

Ferrari’s engine chief Enrico Gualtieri acknowledgeꦉd reliability was the te🎉am’s “Achilles Heel” in 2022 and was a key area of focus over the winter. 

“PUs have been frozen since last year, includi♔ng fluids, oil and fuel and the only modifications allowed are those related to reliability, which wa𒆙s our Achilles Heel last season,” he said. 

“So we worked over the winter to solve our main problems to try t🐷o reach the desired level of reliability. That was our aim for 2023 and our work this winter was based on this.” 

Gualtieri went on to reveal the process behi♚nd Ferrari’s quest to improve power unit reliability, which included revising their assembly procedures and testing “new solutions”.

“We worked mainly on those areas that gave us the most trouble lastꦫ season,” he explained. “So we🌊 focused on the internal combustion engine and the electric motors. 

“At the same time, we t🎐ried to capitalise on the experience gained on track last seaso𒐪n and looked at all the feedback and signs of weakness from the PU components we used. 

“Clearly, this involved various design areas of some components, but at the same time, we also revised our൩ assembly procedures.

“We tried to understand the root causes of the problems we encountered on track and used all our available tools to try and solve them๊. 

“It involved all areas, from dဣesign to experimentation to try and test new solutions in a very short space of time. 

“We also made the most of the experience gained in the second half of last season and then further e🌞volved some of the components where necessary. 

“The work never ends, based on continuous improvement of the components to try and reach the required lᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚevel of reliability.” 

And Ferrari are optimistic t🍎hey have made progress in addressingဣ one of their weakest areas. 

“We’ve had some positive feedback on the test bench, on some of the changes we’ve introduced, but as usual, the track will tell us if we’ve done a good job,” Gualti𒁃eri concluded.
