naughty Ferrari, the other teams aren’t happy with the outcome. Renault (Mass damper), McLaren (spy story - they say Ham won his first title driving a "Ferrari" -), Brawn GP (Rear diffusers), Red Bull (Hot Blowing, flexing wing, illegal traction control and so on), Mercedes (they knew the "Secret" of the power unit before the 2014, as Ecclestone once said. Pirelli secret F1 tyre test, oil burning, Pirelli's decision to reduce the tread of its tyres in Spain, wheel rims, party mode engine, and so on).
So, Ferrari took a few PP and won a few races last year, now they're making a fuss about that? Clearly they're angry for the new commercial deal between Ferrari and FIA (here in Italy we call it "Patto della Concordia"). Ferrari secured 38% of the total profit, but most important thing they threaten to use their VETO to block Toto Wolff becoming the next CEO of F1. This is the reason why Wolff did a video conference with all the teams (except Haas and Alfa Romeo) asking them to sign the petition against Ferrari's engine.
What can I say? Probably Ferrari engineers found a way for improving engine's perfomances, that's for sure. Legal? Illegal? As I said before, the story of F1 is plenty of "Unclear situations", we'll see what happens very soon anyway.
P.S. Sorry for my english, it would be easier for me to explain that in italian language (too many specific terms ).

All cancelled now up until Netherlands early May. Health is the most important thing in our lives. So I agree with the decision to postpone some GP's...
As a huge fan of F1, I must confess I'm a bit sad though...

It looks like our visit to the Belgium Grand Prix at Spa won’t be going ahead, Belgium have prevented all large gatherings until 31st August, the Grand Prix is on the 30th. We should get the money back for the tickets.
We have the flights, hotel and car hire booked and paid for, looks like I’ll have to google what to do and see in that area of Germany and Belgium and do some sightseeing.

My Belgium Grand Prix visit to Spa In August is officially off, I’ve kept the ticket and transferred it to the 2021 event, spend most of the day altering flights, car hire and hotels to August 2021. Top marks to Eurowings and Accor Hotels for allowing changes and providing refunds despite the original bookings been non refundable.
