Ferrari says it will have a "short-term solution" to the problem that caused Carlos Sainz to retire from the Azerbaijan GP.
On a nightmare day for the Scuderia, Sainz stopped on lap eight with a hydraulic failure, while his teammate Charles Leclerc abandoned on lap 21 with a smoking engine.
With only a week and considerable travel between Baku and Montreal, Ferrari has hinted that a definitive solution to Sainz's problem will not come until after the Canadian GP.
"The hydraulic components of Carlos' car have already been examined," stated a post on Ferrari's official page on . "There is a short-term solution for Canada and work on medium/long-term solutions is ongoing."
Ferrari added that the investigation into Leclerc's spectacular power unit breakdown in Baku will begin on Wednesday.
"Charles' engine arrives at the factory today and an initial assessment should be completed by the evening," the Ferrari post reported.
Having suffered two engine failures in the last three GPs, Leclerc will likely use his third of the three UPs allowed this season in Montreal.
With two-thirds of the season remaining, the Monegasque will almost certainly take a grid penalty for excessive component use in the coming rounds.
