Ferrari has given an update on Charles Leclerc' s engine that broke down in Azerbaijan. In Canada, the team will come up with a temporary solution to the problem.

Update from Ferrari

Ferrari let it be known in a tweet that Leclerc's engine that failed in Baku is on its way to the factory in Maranello. "An initial assessment should be completed by the evening," the team writes. Also, the Italians report that the hydraulic components of Carlos Sainz ' car have already been examined.

"A short-term fix is in place for Canada, while work is on-going on mid/long-term solutions," the short message concludes. The problems at Ferrari seem far from solved, but both drivers could now race in Montreal without technical problems.

Red Bull runs out of time

In Baku, neither of the two Ferraris finished. Sainz retired early in the race and Leclerc not much later. This allowed Red Bull Racing to drive to an easy one-two finish and increased its lead in the championship.
