Ferrari may have strategically botched a push for the podium in Turkey, but team boss Mattia Binotto is happy nevertheless. That’s because, with Charles Leclerc getting the 2022 engine update at Sochi and Carlos Sainz receiving the new parts in Istanbul, he thinks the Maranello team is finally catching up in terms of ultimate horse power. “The new power unit is giving us a useful advantage not only in qualifying but also in the race, with lots of overtaking,” the Italian, who was absent in Turkey, told Sky Italia after the race. The new PU (power unit), however, allows us to get immediately behind them, and this is important because it means being ahead of everyone else and trying to take the podium at every race.
