Why are there limits on ECUs? What performance increase would you get from swapping in new ones all the time?

It's fine I'm sure the new ECU was the last piece of the puzzle and the car will be winning every remaining race of the season

I increasingly dislike parts limit penalties from the perspective of “all the teams will eventually take an extra engine or two” - the limits should adjust up if it’s getting to that point.

That said, uh, usually I don’t have to belabor this point by race 2. Thanks scud

Does that mean the second ECU broke just by sitting idle in the car at the factory?

e: ah no, apparently it's the one from last race that was beyond repair

The article makes it sound like it was a design flaw, which is pretty on point for Italian electronics.

So rich teams don't bring a new one to each race to avoid having to make them reliable.

Limits on components seems pointless if there's a cost cap - if a team decides to push a square sided box around the track with an engine that blows up after every weekend then they should be able to do that if they can do it within the cost cap.

Doesn't the whole electronic and electric part (ECU, Battery etc.) come from McLaren? Or did this change with the current regs? I seem to remember that at least at one point the electronics and battery package was supplied by McLaren Technology or however that part of the company group is called. Or was that only the display unit for the steering wheels?

AFAIK the ECU and steering wheel screen are mandated parts from McLaren. I don't think that's the part Ferrari is trying to change, because if it was then everyone on the grid would have to change it. I think Ferrari have another control unit that they can't get to work (probably because they are cheating)
