After a dismal Montreal weekend for the Swiss team, boss Peter Sauber admitted the C29 car is not a good one.<\/p>\n
But the 66-year-old has also been quoted indicating that he is not happy with the ongoing poor reliability of the customer Ferrari engine.<\/p>\n
“Five problems with the Ferrari engine in eight races is unacceptable.\u00a0 At this rate we will need more than eight engines per driver for the season.<\/p>\n
“We need better reliability,” he is quoted by the Swiss newspaper Blick.<\/p>\n
In Canada, Pedro de la Rosa’s race ended with an unspecified engine failure.<\/p>\n
Earlier in 2010, both Sauber and the works team were struggling with poor reliability, but Maranello based Ferrari were given FIA clearance to implement a fix.<\/p>\n
“Ferrari has solved its problems with the engines but Sauber has again had a failure,” Ferrari test driver Marc Gene wrote in his post-Canada column for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.<\/p>\n
“It is an issue that will be analysed thoroughly by the team,” he added.<\/p>\n
“Two months ago there was a basic reason, but now … it is very strange,” wrote Gene.\u00a0 “They will need to work to analyse it with Ferrari.”<\/p>\n
The Spaniard seemed to indicate that Sauber’s ongoing engine problems are probably related to the C29 car.<\/p>\n
“It is surprising that (Ferrari powered) Toro Rosso have never had a problem,” said Gene.<\/p>\n
