Mar.20 (GMM) Engine design had nothing to do with the failure of both Ferrari power plants in the recent Australian grand prix.
That is the revelation of former driver and team advisor Michael Schumacher, following an urgent analysis of the broken units at the Italian outfit's Maranello headquarters.Ferrari did not encounter engine problems in 10,000 km of pre-season testing, which counters speculation that the McLaren ECU can be blamed.In an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, Schumacher did not reveal the actual cause of the Albert Park failures, but he insists that they had "nothing to do with the engines themselves"."I don't want to go into any more detail," he added.Rumours on Thursday at the scene of the Malaysian grand prix indicate that the problems were of an aerodynamic nature, triggered by the intense heat of the Melbourne circuit.
