The FIA has seized parts of the fuel system of Ferrari, one Ferrari customer and one Non-Ferrari. A thorough investigation of the parts will be conducted in the FIA laboratories.
"After Red Bull and Mercedes asked for clarification on almost every possible thing on the Ferrari power unit. The FIA has now decided to investigate the fuel system."
So, once the FIA publish the information regarding the investigation. Mercedes and Red Bull will be all over it to see if they can gain some insight.
It's not how start but how you finish.
This is absurd!
Ferrari should withdraw from the 2020 season & use the entire year for testing 2021 car & parts. Let's see if other teams can pull in the crowds without Ferrari?
And they should use their veto for every rule that doesn't suit them - tyres, wings, fuel flow, engine etc. should be more of "take it or leave it" approach from Ferrari.

So after the FIA learn how our PU works, I'm pretty sure Honda or renault might be keen on employing the FIA engineers.
They should be banned from joining teams.
This has become a very sore subject and especially so after the Interlagos debacle, it's all about dis-crediting Ferrari and I hope to God there's nothing to be discovered in this witch-hunt.
Why not seize mercedes components Ferrari and Honda simply because mercedes for the 2nd half of the season have performed below there standards.If those Merc thick heads do not win every race then something is wrong and Ferrari etc are cheating. Mercedes are to stupid to work it out so they will use fia influence and some big mouth in the fia will spill the info to mercedes.Fi is doomed even Bernie baby knows this to many people now involved in f1 with a new agenda.Ferrari should tell the fia and f1owners to stick the whole thing where the sun does not shine.Fia should be very careful in not upsetting the sleeping giant.
It's ridiculous that every advantage we have is being scrutinized by the FIA. While Mercedes and Red Bull get away with murder. Formula 1 is becoming a sick joke where sore losers get to dictate who will be unfairly investigated. A witch hunt. We should hire people with the sole task of spying and observing on our competition. And file any complaint and demand investigations by the FIA.
I think it's time for a heads up or wake up from your bubble. Unfortunately all the rumours seem to be true: it's highly likely that Ferrari are cheating with the fuel system. I am gutted that they discovered it and that it will likely turn out to be something illegal. We lose the engine advantage and next year we will be a sitting duck compared to Mercedes and Redbull
The investigation includes Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and surprise surprise Red Bull Honda.

Where is mercedes in all this the protected ones.Absolutely shambolic from the fia as I have said previously a **** poor effort from mercedes 2nd half of season beaten in poles and races.lucky for them there year started well and Ferrari poorly for many reasons other wise the end result could actually be looking a lot different.Mercedes started this fire.Now they sit back and watch the fire.It the only way they can find out what Ferrari has done .Those mercedes dummies are to thick to work it out.
We didn't lose any engine advantage. Ferrari never had any top speed advantage over Mercedes/Red Bull on the straights, the main focus is the sheer acceleration on the straights and the acceleration coming out of medium/high speed corner.
That is why Ferrari had the fastest car in sector 1 at both Japan and Austin, and in sector 3 at Brazil. We'll see the same thing again at the next race in Abu Dhabi, where Ferrari will be on pole.
Hopefully our engines are deemed legal and that it will be the end of this discussion. And we have Honda and Merc scratching their heads over winter. But there are always fans who claim that the FIA and Jean Todt are in bed with Ferrari and they will still suspect that we are cheating.
Meanwhile, yesterday morning the FIA issued a new directive, document 39/19, in which they asked the teams to mount a second flowmeter that can be directly controlled by the Federation.
This article make one wonder as to what the FIA found and on who's PU did they find it on.

Formula 1 is a nonsense a farce. It has been ruined and it's past principles values and sporting presentation has been eroded and for ever ruined.F1 has become toxic and as a result of that sterile.Survival of f1 is the only thing left on the menu.
Forza Ferrari
Listen mate I have been following f1 for some 40 years have been to f1 when they raced in Adelaide south Australia in the 80s and various locations globally.So if I want to rant I will .I have the history mate so I have earned the right.How long have you been following f1?and do not lie your nose will grow.FORZA FORZA FERRARI.
It seems that the 'seized' fuel system by the FIA was just a routine check. Yet media used headlines like confiscated, seized. It's very poor journalism and damaging for Ferrari. It really does not sit right with me though.
Yeah... seen lot of articles stating “Ferrari into further trouble” “another blow for ferrari” “FIA seized Ferrari’s Illegal fuel flow system” etc.... nowhere it’s proved illegal yet.
On the same note, neither of the article mentioned about Honda who are also under scrutiny.
Maybe Merc have realised that both Ferrari and Honda have outwitted them, surely all the power unit suppliers should be subject to the same 'interrogation'. It still worries me that despite Binotto's insistence that our engine/fuel flow system is legal, the FIA will find something that's not quite as it should be.
Don’t think so. Mattia & our drivers seem to be confident of our engine. It’s just they are trying different set up in orders to see the direction for next year car & to protect their tyres.
As we can see Ferrari didn’t loose anything on straights they are still competitive.
If Lec wouldn’t have made a mistake, he could have taken the pole in Brazil. Also it was new Spec3 PU not next yrs engine.
We are lucky to have Mattia on top. It seems the kind of Pearson to have integrity and a lot of knowledge. A chef the dot put preasure on the team, so we have a peaceful atmosphere. This kind of remind me of J. Todd era, in which he was present. It's the invese of Marlboro Man, who acts like a mad tifosi. Without calm we cannot inovate, neither look at the future
