Villeneuve sees three Ferrari engines killed: 'They have a problem'

Ferrari had hoped to score a double podium in Azerbaijan, but things turned out completely differently. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz both crashed out with technical problems on the street circuit of Baku. A hard blow for the Ferrari fans. Jacques Villeneuve speaks of a "problem."

Leclerc remains stuck on 116 points, with the gap to Verstappen increasing to 34 points. At the end of the Australian Grand Prix, the Red Bull Racing driver was 46 points behind his rival. Red Bull has been able to turn it around, but in doing so it has been helped considerably by mistakes or problems on the Italian side.

According to Villeneuve, Leclerc is hard to blame."Apart from the mistake in Imola, he is driving strongly. It would be logical if he gets frustrated after the last three races. It's not good, because you win and lose together and as a driver you should never distance yourself from the team. Ferrari does have a problem," said the world champion.

In Monaco, three MGU-H's were already broken in one weekend, but this did not lead to any cancellations. Sunday was different. Not only did Leclerc and Sainz crash out, but also Kevin Magnussen had to end his race prematurely. There will be a lot of work in Maranello in the coming period to solve these reliability problems, because Ferrari knows that DNF's can be fatal for the championship chances.
