Horner: Ferrari fuel 'smells like grapefruit juice'
New questions about the legality of Ferrari's 2019 engine are beginning to be asked.
In the winter test season, following a spate of FIA announcements clamping down even harder on the regulations, the general consensus was that the top engines in F1 were now all close in performance.
But then came Bahrain, where rivals were shocked to discover that Ferrari's engine is five tenths better in a straight line.
One estimate puts the gap at 40 horse power.
"We actually thought that the FIA had filled all the last holes in the regulations," Red Bull's Adrian Newey told Auto Motor und Sport.
One new theory is that Ferrari's fuel sponsor Shell has discovered something revolutionarily new.
"The fuel from the Ferrari garage smells like grapefruit juice," Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said.

Maybe Christian's olefactory receptors are being overwhelmed by the smell of Red Bull in his garage, and everything else smells of grapefruit?
.
Has anyone sniffed Red Bull fuel, maybe that smells like Monster Energy drink rather than Red Bull!
Its a wonder they dont say it smells like sour grapes!
Good One!!
I bet that no one would say anything if Mercedes or Red Bull had a lip in performance. There is a media collusion against Ferrari and Vettel lead by the BBC and Fox. I'm afraid that they'll need to get used to biting the Ferrari's dust.
The car runs on the juice of the fruit of the grape? Sambuca?
Maybe they should change to Prosecco!
Its going to be another year of boring Mercedes dominating almost every race. I think it's not worth watching any longer. F1 needs teams to be closer competitively. Or change the name to: Try and catch Mercedes. Level the playing field and lets witness some real racing pls. At the moment its plain boring boring boring. Hamilton will be champion again.
