Isn't this the part of the season where Ferrari gets suspiciously fast. In a race or two, the FIA will issue a clarification on an existing rule, and Ferrari will fade again.

They can't burn oil anymore. I suspect that they have a creative interpretation of the charging/harvesting rules for the batteries. Another possibility is that they are doing something crazy like injecting natural gas or propane into the engine--something to provide a little extra power at key points. That's not explicitly banned, is it?
