Same goes for weight reduction: make the engine less 'robust' and it may fail.

Agree and it appears that Ferrari may have just made the PU less 'bullet proof' in their quest for less weight and more speed.
All eyes now will be on what they can do at Maranello (if anything within Fia rules) to their PU's to last longer.

Pretty sure teams can make power unit changes if suffering unreliable. Problem is do they have money to do so under the cost cap

This will be the key question as altering the PU's in some way with machining or even replacing the PU base blocks, internal PU components like rods will or if being done now is a huge task even getting it done in time for the Ricard race and returning them to the customer team.

Yes . And at Maranello they must have the necessary technology and the advanced engineering skills to solve the issue at the root .

Won't be easy , but hopefully they can do it .

Almost for sure it should involve stripping one new PU down and identifying the weakness(es) comparing with what they can find on Sainz's destroyed one and MAG's one which he said was on the edge of breaking.
Then they can alter the affected components but as you say it won't be easy.

Yeah . And let the car roll backwards against the wall . The car was only 2 meters away from the wall ..

On the other hand : We would panic even more with these flames in front of the helmet screen ..
And I'm pretty sure that he felt the heat of the flames ..

It's always easy to discuss afterwards and I wouldn't like to sit in that fire !

Norris felt he had a hot bottom in his McLaren and he abandoned his car though there was no fire

I don't think it was panic. Being pissed off also clouds rational thought.
