Question: Ferrari's new cooling system seems to be more efficient, do they have an exclusive deal with the manufacturer or could other teams use that system as well and tighten up their sidepods?
Answer: We know for sure that Ferrari used innovative coolers from a US manufacturer last year. The competing teams assume that they are using them this year also. We know that Mercedes engineers considered a change to be too high-risk. Most other teams probably use conventional coolers as well. There is no exclusive deal as far as we know. The technology behind those coolers is very complicated and expensive.
