Interesting stuff and might explain their new found pace, illegal or just very clever solutions who knows?

As if Red Bull didn't bend the rules when they were dominating... and probably Mercedes too these last 3 years.

The other teams are just surprised/pissed off that Ferrari have managed to come up with a clever rule bending idea that they didn't think of first.

The FIA will be all over it like a rash anyway.... I think the days where teams were able to take the piss completely and get away with running traction control or have a fuel rig deliver faster than it should are well gone.

I doubt the FIA will want to put a damper on the battle at the top. Two teams, two drivers: just what they, and we, want.

Yea, Ferrari are saints and would never complain about other teams having better ideas than them so "asking the FIA for clarification" to get them banned. It's pure coincidence that the have moved away from Red Bull and closer to Mercedes in the closed season, the two teams using the suspension design they couldn't get to work didn't think was legal...
