After the winter tests in Barcelona, many people could already see that Ferrari did not have the speed of the Red Bull or the Mercedes. But nobody expected that Ferrari would be in so much trouble, as could be seen in Austria. Since then, many theories have appeared, about what could be the reason that Ferrari is suddenly so slow.

Ferrari falls through the basket
"They lost seven tenths on their car last year on a circuit that is only about 60 seconds long! That's crazy! The new rules say that the new engine has to work in a "legal" way. Which means, and I know for sure, Ferrari's engine wasn't legal last year. I know no one can say this on TV, but I'm gonna say it here on youtube."
