Ferrari reveal cause of Raikkonen engine strife

Indexed: Wed Aug 27, 2008 @ 10:30:26AM 3 months 1 week ago

Ferrari believe that the engine failure, which ended Kimi Raikkonen's European Grand Prix on Lap 46, was caused by a broken con rod. A similar issue is understood to have resulted in the retirement of team mate Felipe Massa from the previous round in Hungary. “Initial analysis of the engine fitted to Kimi Raikkonen's car confirmed the breakage of a con rod,” said the Italian team in a statement. “Currently underway are further checks to try and understand what provoked the failure, even if it is easy to surmise that it could be a similar problem to the one that sidelined Felipe, three laps from the end of the Hungarian Grand Prix.”
