Arrivabene angry over 'second sensor' talk
Oct.6 - An angry Maurizio Arrivabene has lashed out after reports emerged that a second FIA sensor has been added to the 2018 Ferrari.
Following suspicions about the legality of the Maranello team's power unit, some believe the second sensor is the reason Ferrari's recent performance has slumped.
"That's right, there's an extra sensor," team boss Arrivabene told the German broadcaster RTL.
"We have no problem following the FIA's request, but it's strange that everyone else knows about the second sensor," he added.
"Our battery layout is quite complex, but it is still the intellectual property of Ferrari," said the Italian.
Arrivabene said the fact that details like the second sensor get into the public sphere is a "serious matter".
He insisted that the Ferrari car is "totally legal today as it was at the beginning", and said the addition of the second sensor "did not make us lose anything in performance".
Arrivabene also told Sky Italia: "It is our competitors who talk, so I hope that a project that is our intellectual property is not known all over the paddock."

I’m afraid I don’t believe you Mr. Arrivabene because since fitted unfortunately Ferrari’s performance has reduced to Mercedes and even to Red Bull and the latter have stopped developing their car whilst they turn attention to 2019. I had hoped that Ferrari had found a legal way of getting of an advantage over the merc as it would have made a great end to the season fight, which is now in danger of finishing in Mexico.
And it’s naive to think that this stuff doesn’t or shouldn’t get into the public arena because you are in a sport viewed by countless millions and scrutinised like few others.
Mr Arrivabene you tried you're luck & you got caught which means you tried to cheat to save what is about to be unsavable & thats you're JOB because you're USELESS!!
Hiding the truth leads one to think of corruption and bias, Maclaren and others paid the price. Don't underestimate the fans.
