Fun weekend - always a blast being out there to watch the race. Weather was perfect & the overall production of the whole weekend improves each year. Now they have just got to figure out how to deal with the bumps - they are getting bad & it seems like the pace of the degradation is accelerating. The main culprits are at 2, between 9 & 10, & 18 apex. They have adjusted for the one at 18 but you cannot avoid the other two. Could see little bits falling off a few cars from the 9 to 10 bump. The back straight has a couple as well but at this point are more just uncomfortable than potential safety issues.

The final blow for Vettel looks like it was from the bump between 9 & 10. It looks like that was being set up though by his penchant for turtle hunting up to that point (I prefer the moniker turtle over sausage curb, sounds more pleasant). Dude was wearing out the turtles through the "S"s & was regularly smacking the one at 16 as well. The last bounce from the bump was just the final blow combined with a slow death by turtle up to that point.

I would not argue against Vettel purposefully tagging the turtles as often as possible per team orders... Once they figured out that they no longer had the power they used to after they had to stop cheating - it appears they needed to come up with something quick as an excuse to cover their tracks. Hmmm, suspension failure? Perfect - send it!

Remember this at COTA, always this...

According the latest : Ferrari got an FIA technical directive inspection ....
Charles was angry : He said MAX don't knows 5H1T about us . Because MAX talked about the inspection in his interview . ...And yesterday Charles was *1 minute* later on the finish line !
While we still remember the Ferrari speed at MONZA and SPA . According Lewis and MAX ...*It* The Jet-Mode was unreal !

Now...Ferrari already signed up (too) a complaint against Merc and Red Bull ....
This means that Merc and Red Bull Honda will get also an extra FIA technical inspection at Interlagos .

The whole thing (situation) is about a (changed) Ferrari fuel injection system . In other words *The Ferrari Jet-Mode*

It's normal in F1.So far there have been about 35 queries from teams,if I'm not mistaken,about other teams' suspected tech improvements for pace that may be irregular to the rules.
It's just tit for tat.

I know . But this can be something special . Because it's about a Ferrari *manipulation* of the fuel supply (injection) system .
Here is the article in Dutch . Hope you can use Translate => https://www.gpupdate.net/nl/f1-nieuw...et-over-heeft/

Anyway I'm curious to know more ...

I've translated it and again (in fact its on another F1 site in English also) I would say its typical in house 'battleships' game trying to weigh down the other guy and vice versa.Ham started it but his ball has stopped rolling.
I also understand Max's suspicions with the loss of pace with Ferrari in Austin and with the displeasure between Charles and Max in previous clashes over domination on the track some of which you have shown.I think Ferrari has answered all the doubts with good answers concerning Lecs engine and some one on here even suggested Seb knew his suspension arm would fail .I can't imagine anyone would drive an F1 car knowing this would happen.
It'll all pass by Brazil and we can get on with what we like to watch, the racing.

Huge respect to Vettel for doing that, especially after his early DNF.

Max managed that RB15 as best he could and nearly got 2nd.
