Ferrari have been up to all sorts of tricks over the last few years. In the oil burning era they were very blatant about it and had a second oil tank hidden in the floor. Then it was the huge amount of smoke they were chucking out on startup that was a bit suspect and they were made to stop that. The twin battery with one sensor which appeared to bypass the upper and lower state of charge limits so they could harvest and deploy more energy but refused to explain it properly to the FIA. Then there were the odd smells coming out their exhaust being reported by other team members, with varying descriptions last year from hardwood burning to fresh pine, to this year an odd ozone-y smell. Rumours before that about them switching to burning the coolant through deliberately slack seals in the turbo. Carrying too much fuel at the end of last year. Then the fuel flow sensor. The teams have protested and had it all stopped.
