Their pace is being flattered by the new engine mode regs, and seeing how one sided the resurgence is you'd have to believe seb is getting the "yeah, whatever" treatment.

Ferrari used a new floor and barge boards this weekend but it's just as likely with the limited practice their luck with the setup was better than some others. Seb got the old parts for FP3 and only saw the new ones for the first time in Quali. Whatever.
