And Speede5, I agree they all "cheat"...but Ferrari has always been next level at it. Couple that to the ridiculous stroke they have at FIA + F1 and I'm very happy to see them rot away in 15th. 
Have it from a "source" that there secret agreement with FIA+F1 regarding the engines was that they were tricking the fuel flow sensors. Not sure if that was speculated here or not (I just hear "engine performance"). No idea why the agreement isnt public. |
Ya, the fuel flow thing was suspected. I had heard it was flexible tubing after the sensor that could expand, hold extra fuel, then let it out when needed more. So the flow would read steady, as opposed to going up and down with demand. Then when it needed extra juice it would get released past the valve slowing it, the expanded tubing would deflate, and bingo, extra fuel flow when needed. It was tough to spot because it looked like a normal fuel hose.
