[@fblazt9434]

@@idk90a1 You probably already know by now but i'm gonna tell you anyway. Ferrari in 2019 managed to bypass fuel flow rate sensors to pump more fuel into the cylinders and increase power. They we're able to do this because of the frequency at which the sensors we're measuring how much fuel was flowing into the engine, the frequency at which it checked wasn't random (it was the same interval all the time) so they just pumped more fuel when the sensors weren't checking. Near the end of the season the FIA clarified this grey-area and said it wasn't allowed and was considered cheating, so for the remaining races Ferrari's pace dropped dramatically and they didn't have the straight-line speed they had before. This loop-hole was later fixed by making the check interval random and by adding extra sensors I believe.

After Lewis won the title early in 2015 he took his foot off the pedal and Rosberg cruised to 3 easy victories and carried the momentum in 2016 but Hamilton also had a sluggish start to '16 too. Just think if Hamilton had started 2016 on the right note he would have walked that championship too. But he didn't and Rosberg held strong all season, something he couldn't do in 2014 and became World Champion. Credit to him.

8. Raikkonen vs Hamilton 2018. This is a perfect example of how Kimi gave space for Hamilton when going into Turn 2. On the contrary, Hamilton after yesterday's race says that he gave space for Max but that wasn't clearly the case. Seeing the many races in Monza, it's clear how Hamilton drives when approaching turn 1 and turn 2. He does a zig zag to avoid others from braking late and get an advantage.
