All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

The hydraulics systems are supplied by xtrac. I seem to recall both Lotus and Virgin having ads in Autosport for a hydraulics designer shortly after their cars were first tested - wonder why that was..... #-o
