Having read several books by team owners that ran customer Ferrari engines they were sometimes a curse rather than a gift. In the book "Forza Minardi" Mr Minardi himself said that he regretted giving up the reliable but not quite as powerful Ford Engines and using the Ferrari engines instead. He sited several instances of his car being on the pace one minute and strangley off it the next. These periods of quick and slow used to be inconjunction with periods when Ferrari would need help from Minardi in a race. He thought that just because he was in an Italian team he would get full support from his fellow Italians.


I reckon there won't be such worries for teams powered by Merc engines and with the engine rules in place I don't think it will be the development aid that it would have been say 10 years ago.


Which team is Lewis Hamilton driving for in 2025?
