If you were Ferrari, with the championships done, would you not consider turning your engine down and letting your opponents think they had "cracked" the secret of your speed advantage?

Then next year turn it back up again and your competitors find themselves scrabbling to figure out how you are doing it, again.

AMuS liveticker saying an official protest against Ferrari is getting more likely.
RB closely watching Ferrari in Qualifying if they continue their power boost on the straights (and yes they'll be looking at more than just laptime).
Also technical director Nikolas Tombazis had a lively discussion with Ferrari engineers this morning.
Classic F1 drama.

And until then people accuse them of being cheaters?! i dont think that will do them any good on PR image.

Moreover, Mercedes has already said that they know what ferrari are doing and they might implement it if legal. and also Honda are not gonna sit around until then.

We can conclude that only after qualifying
if we're going to be strict about it, we might be able to conclude something more after Q3, but so far we can say there's no sign, can't we

I've got a feeling Verstappen has got a lot of pace up his sleeve, I'm predicting pole for the Dutchman.

So what? I assume he will start as far forward as possible tomorrow. 1 + 10 = 11th :) .
