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?

Ferrari has had really good straight-line speed for a while now, but merc was beating them with downforce.
Spa and monza are both high-speed low-downforce tracks that play into ferrari's advantages and downplay their deficiencies.
It should be different in singapore where merc and red bull should re-gain the upper hand.
