    Very well explained and true.

    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.

    Once the info. gets published; maybe they can figure out from Ferrari why there's so much trouble with Ferrari's down force and let slip out , how to cure the problem.

    Didn't the FIA say some months ago that they know how Ferrari engine works and Ferrari has done clever things but everything is legal?

    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

    Maybe Mercedes have nothing that might be breaking the rules? Stop being stupid about this if Merc had something others thought was illegal then it would be protested as well.

    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.

    Mercedes are crapping their pants and NOT because of Ferrari......we always find ways to screw up a good race.....but because of RED BULL......mercedes are fearing them the MOST probably and NOT ferrari.....WHICH IS TOTALLY SAD.....BUT TRUE
    McLaren could also have Mercedes engines again in 2021.

    Perhaps a sign that Mercedes could leave F1?

    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.

    Value and principles? Like following the rules? Ferrari are not the first to be in a grey area of the rules neither will they be the last. Did you cry when mass dampee for Renault was banned? Or 3rd brake pedal for McLaren?????

    What are you on about? Pretty much every posts of yours are mindless rambling about F1 and some laughable conspiracy theories. If you're so disgusted about F1 then don't watch it, nobody is forcing you to.
    And this thread is about "SF90" so stop hijacking it.

    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
