Before the LAST Grand Pix:

FIA confiscates Ferrari Gasoline Systems

Ferrari's Formula 1 engines are further challenged. After the FIA recently clarified the rules, they directly intervene in Brazil with an investigation: After the race, engine components were confiscated in São Paulo for further checks by FIA engineers.

Over the last few weeks, the RV had previously tried to clarify fuel flow with two Technical Directives (TD 035-19 and 038-19). The question in the room: Are Ferrari tricking to bypass the limit on gasoline flow (100 kilograms per hour) and thus generate more power? The first directive had come at the request of Red Bull, the second followed shortly thereafter.

No official protest against Ferrari - still parts recovered

It is clear that the fuel flow meter that monitors the boundary must not be installed in such a way that its measurements are influenced. And additional flammable liquids from intercoolers, air collectors or the energy recovery system must not end up in the combustion chamber of the engine. Evidence that Ferrari is using one of these tricks is not known.

Red Bull, in recent weeks leading critics of the Ferrari performance, waived despite all the hints on the US weekend then but an official protest. Instead, the FIA has initiated an investigation of its own accord. The colleagues from 'Auto Motor und Sport' report that in Brazil gasoline systems were fed by three cars: that of a Ferrari, that of a customer Ferrari and that of another manufacturer.

Apparently, in order to curb the increasingly escalating rumors and finally create clear conditions before the end of the season. According to 'AMuS', fuel lines were drawn in between the flow rate sensor and the engine. The very area that was questioned.
Ferrari sticks with it: we do not cheat

Ferrari himself held firm in Brazil to their version of things: There is no deception, on their F1 engines, everything is compliant. In Brazil, although Ferrari had the upper hand in the sectors one and three - both with extra long straights - though not quite so clearly. Their standard explanation for the vanished power advantage since the US is that they have more downforce and thus more drag on the car.

The critics felt themselves confirmed - Ferrari was suddenly no longer in front, because they had stopped their now classified as illegal trick.

The fastest car of the weekend was in Brazil finally Red Bull: Max Verstappen cleared with pole and victory from large, Ferrari pilots cleared themselves only from. But even in normal racing Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc would have been able to fight for more than the podium.

They are building a banked corner which will be 18°. Which is much steeper than the famous banked corners of the Indy speedway.

I always think banked corners look very spectacular. It's a shame we don't see more of them on the calendar these days.

I fear for the cars, however, trying to manage a banked corner with nothing between them and the track but four Pijelly gumboots.
