Multiple reports say Ferrari has openly identified a weakness in the performance of its Formula 1 power unit.
According to the cited coverage, Ferrari rejected the idea that the problem is linked to deployment. Instead, the team said the deficit comes from a lack of outright, or pure, power.
The reports also note that this admission came despite an engine upgrade, underlining Ferrari's own recognition that the remaining shortfall has not been attributed to deployment.
