You are free to believe what you will but just ask yourself this..
IF is is the same as pump gas..Why the articles about how Shell specifically formulates gas for Ferrari...Hell that it even gives them better mileage etc? Why don't they just fill up each time at the local service station?
It ain't even close to pump gas. I see it as a big advertising lie..aren't they all?
Why not just be honest? It would serve their ad campaign just as well.
Hell why not run whatever gas they want above board and honest. Lead? I don't care...do you? really?
1) Shell rights these ridiculous articles to sound like they actually are doing something special for this important form of motor-sport. I hope you are not taking them literally.
2) All Shell gas stations do not get their gas from Shell refineries. Probably no Shell stations near most the race venues. Lastly street gas can have questionable quality from time to time.
3) Fact: The FIA stated that fuel spec represented those of pump gas. The fuel used must meet the spec.... Thus is is similar to pump gas. Believe what you wish.
4) Why the need to lie? The FIA wanted lower HP.... 3.0 to 2.4 liter, etc., why not just advance their goal with low grade fuel?
