failed to start the Saturday sprint event after his car shut down on the grid.
At the time, the team pinpointed a failure of the ECU, which is a standard supply component or SSC used by all teams. However, following further investigations back at Enstone this week, it was concluded that the issue lay more on the team side, and thus could not be blamed directly on the standard part. The team now knows that the ECU was not receiving power. team principal Otmar Szafnauer told Autosport.
“We took it back to the factory, and we were able to replicate the problem. And it wasn't the ECU. It's a box that powers the ECU. “And so the ECU was fine, but the power box that powers the ECU wasn't fine. And if you don't power it, it looks like the ECU is dead. All indications were that the ECU had failed, but we didn't know then that the power box wasn't working. And it’s an Alpine part.”
