Ferrari Formula 1 chief Mattia Binotto says the failur🍰e of Antonio Giovinazzi’s updated engine is “a concern” heading to this 🅰weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

Ferrari introduced its updated-spec engine at Sꦚpa last weekend, opting for its usual tactic of giving it to its customer teams, Haas and Alfa Romeo, before putting it into its own cars at the following race.

Alfa R♕omeo driver Giovinazzi was sidelined by an engine failure towards the end of Q1 on Saturday at Spa, forcing the team into a change for the♊ race.

The incident also s🧸parked concerns for Ferrari, with Binotto confirming after the race that the team would follow its usual procedure of evaluating the engine back at Maranello.

“That’s a good point, no doubt. We got it, and obviously we neꦍe🐼d to analyse what happened,” Binotto said.

“As an early failure, norma𝕴lly it should be down to something wrong, quite detectable. The engine will go back to Maranello. First they will need to disassemble it, and try to understand.

“We’ve got a few days to react, but yes, it is a c♚o♈ncern.”

Ferrari was not alone in experiencing a failure with its updated engine at Spa, with two of Mercedes’ customer engines – one on Sergio Perez’s Racing Poᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚint car; the other on Robert Kubica’s Williams – hitting trouble over the weekend.

Mercedes F1 chief Toto Wolff said the setback compromised the senior team – which ran the up𒊎dated engines immediately – slightly, but that it did not want to take ♓any risks.

“We introduced Phase 3 of our power unit and we h⛄ad two failures on Checo’s and Robert’s cars which are not understood,” Wolꦯff said.

“It didn’t comprꦗomise us massively, it did a tiny bit. We were not taking any risks in the race but it was certainly not a comfortable sit🌺uation.

“The failures looked to be different and are n🌳ot analysed of yet and understood.⭕”
