Be assurred that thos earmarked for Mercedes will have no such problem, but as to ferrari.....

I have it on good authority that after the monaco Q session where the car of MS lost power, it was discovered that such a device was used against his ECU on his car, but out of fear that it would be attacked and exploited further as a "weak link", they chose not to mention it since they were confident the other excuse would be more believeable........ Subsequent modifications seems to have prevented further such problems
