Every team goes to great lengths to hide everything on their cars. It wasn't long ago that every team on the grid was covering the garage entrances. They weren't hiding anything illegal - they were trying to stop others from seeing what their performance advantages are.

Ferrari may or may not be cooling the camera (and despite claims here, nobody actually knows that), however, there is also nothing to suggest that what is going on is illegal. If the FIA have been investigating it, and all they can say is "pretty please please please don't cover the camera", then it suggests what is going on is completely legal, as otherwise, they'd be saying something a bit more than that.

And if they suspected the drivers were doing something in the car, they'd simply request telemetry from that time. We've seen that sort of thing before.

Basically, the only way this holds water is if everybody involved is incompetent. Which tends to be how it goes for conspiracy theories - pick and choose your facts, and assume everyone but the author is an idiot.
