    It seems much more likely than your conspiracy theory, and it happens to fit the facts that we know. VET wasn't out of reach for HAM which is why he was pushing and went off ... or maybe he was just saving his tyres for Hungary?

    Did you watch the race or just read the Ferrari fan forums?

    What conspiracy theory??? That Mercedes has a No.1 driver is a conspiracy???
    And why are you talking about Hamilton making ground on Vettel? We were talking about Bottas and whether it was necessary to pit him....
    And Vettel was out of reach for Bottas so why should he have pushed when he had to get the tires over the race. Lewis was pushing more that moment because he was on much fresher tires but why do you say that Bottas was unable to do so and therefore had to change tires. Where are the "facts", all I see is just your guess unless you have all the datas concerning Bottas tires...but once again the Hamiton supporters make it sound like it is a fact. I did watch the race and maybe without your tinted "Hamilton is god on four wheels"-glasses

    Hmm, I am just an F1 fan who has been watching for over 40 years, but you it seems are full of conspiracies. Why not chill out and enjoy watching? You might even learn the answers to your questions.

    Quick through the corners and faster on the straights, Ferrari's SF71H certainly seems to be producing performance beyond the level its Formula 1 rivals expected.

    There has been particular intrigue about what Ferrari is doing with its engine.

    So far the suspicion has been that Ferrari has unlocked something on its ERS that the others have missed, such as a battery trick or a use of the turbo, MGU-H or MGU-K in a different way.

    But a new design avenue that the team tested at the German Grand Prix hinted the answer may not lie entirely with its power unit.

    Did Ferrari's experiments with remounting its exhaust pipes near the rear wing suggest the possibility of a blown wing concept?

    Closer analysis of wing set-ups suggests Ferrari has not had to trim downforce to achieve its straightline gains, and has even been able to run greater wing angles than Mercedes.

    That raises the possibility of Ferrari finding a way to 'stall' its rear wing to help with a straightline speed advantage without hurting it in high-speed corners.

    It wouldn't be the first time such a solution had been used to increase top speed. The F-duct in 2010, and the DRD (Drag Reduction Device, see below), were both introduced to achieve a similar benefit: reduce drag and increase top speed.

    The "trick" Ferrari is using is simple. They drop a few drops of Chianti in the fuel tank, and pain the letters T O T O on the bottom of the floor so it gets dragged onto the tarmac during racing so there is satisfaction and weight reduction......that's it!!

    I remember the Ferrari livery at Monza shortly after 9/11, a red paint scheme with a black nose cone. Respectful and elegant in its simplicity.

    Throw Horner into the mix and there’s no hope for any sign of maturity.

    Someone is claiming Ferrari found 40 (!!!) hp on the Spec 3 engine. I can't believe that.
