Talijanski site je slušao team radio Vettela cijelu utrku i uspoređivao modove motora u odnosu na prošlu godinu, kao i komunikaciju između Vettela i Adamia (cijelog zida).
Uglavnom ono o čemu se govorilo od Petka...Ferrari najverojatnije ima problem sa motorom tj. pouzdanošću i voze u konzervativnim modovima da bi izbjegli...pa znamo već što.

Taking advantage of the work of Alex Brunetti (which you can find on his Twitter account), who followed the race from the pilots' onboard camera and heard all of Sebastian Vettel's radio teams, you may notice a quite unusual use of the Ferrari power unit.
The first strangeness concerns the narrow use of the mapping carried out in the first phase of the race. In fact, Vettel's Rossa goes off with the engine 1 mapping (which should be the most thrust), and after a few laps it passes to a much calmer engine map, engine 5. A very different choice than last season, when it went down gradually from mapping 1 to mapping 3-4. Yet at that stage Vettel had to stay close to the Mercedes duo so as not to let them escape.
The most extreme mapping (engine 1) is authorized only before the German pit stop, which took place during the fifteenth lap, in the race phase in which Ferrari was trying to fill the gap with Lewis Hamilton. This mapping is no longer used even during the defense on Verstappen, during lap number 31. In that phase of the race Vettel's SF-90 was set to a very bland engine mapping, engine 5, when normally, so as not to lose the position, you opt for the mapping engine 1, taking into consideration also the fact that the Dutch had mounted only a few laps the new medium rubber, compared to the yellow rubber already used by about fifteen laps by the German. This explains how Verstappen managed to "strip" the Ferrari into the straight that leads into turn three with a Honda power unit, The quirks continue even in the middle phase of the race, when Vettel begins to "pull" the gears too much, especially on turn 13 and 14, to try to have higher engine revs, presumably to push the MGU-H to the maximum , as if there was a need to recharge so much, taking advantage of an extreme SOC (state of charge) mapping. A few laps later another Vettel radio team arrives in which he talks about "lag" in his power unit, thus a delay in power delivery, perhaps due to a non-perfect functioning of the turbo part?
Feelings relating to a problematic power unit are again recognized by Vettel, who at about twenty laps from the end asks Riccardo Adami if he is all right on his car and asks why he is going very slow, who dribbles the question saying that everything is ok. At the end of the race in Ferrari they decide to freeze the positions, not allowing Leclerc to overtake a Vettel in obvious difficulty.
