In the round-up: Frederic Vasseur still believes four power units for a full season is enough
In brief
Four PUs the “right limit” – Vasseur
Despite there being 24 rounds in this year’s world championship – the longest ever F1 season, Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur believes that the four power units limit per car, per season is still at the right level.
“I think each case is different, but if you have a look now, we are at race 18 and I’m not sure that a lot of drivers took a penalty just for the comfort or for performance interest for the future,” Vasseur said.
“We are all on our path to do the season with four engines. Perhaps we won’t achieve it, but it’s the right limit.”
