LeClerc insinuating they (Ferrari) were running on the edge of not enough fuel to have finished if it was not for safety car
 
Surely if the turbo is not working fully, the fuelling is reduced not increased?

MGU-H makes your engine more efficient. The same is true for MGU-K. It is energy harvesting, you waste this heat energy otherwise.

F1 cars are ridiculously efficient. I've heard 50% in one of Mercedes' videos.

No see Muon's point above. In addition he probably turned up the ICE to compensate for the loss of the MGU-H horsepower would have led to being close on fuel. The point is if he was 10 seconds up the road as he was, they would have been able to turn down the engines a bit to compensate. Most teams fuel on the edge its the most sensible thing to do.

But the MGU-H also works like a waste gate, so when it fails the turbo itself looses power. The ecu will then reduce fueling to counteract the reduced air going into the engine as the turbo is working less efficiently
