This thread is for an in detail look at gearbox hydraulics in F1. It was a very popular term in 2010 owing to virgin racing and their gearbox problems, but there was never an in depth discussion the topic before, and we can't go on pretending like we know anything about the F1 gearbox hydraulics.
"yep they had a hydraulics failure " when we don't know what the hell is going on in the casing.
What hydraulic systems are in the gearbox, and why are hydraulic failures so critical?
Cars have come to a stop all becuase of simple hydraulic seal failures. Teams also had year long issues with hydraulics, indicating that these systems are pretty complicated and precise.
So, for the fans on the outside such as my self, it would be neat if we had all knowledge of F1 gearbox hydraulics dumped into this thread by those who have access to such information.
