Yeah and the Aston Martins, Mclaren's and Williams if you look close.
Bit suspicious if they need to top up oil after one lap, wonder what the reason for such huge one lap oil consumption could be?djos wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 4:40 amIt was apparently just due to a slight overfill during the red flag period.rickybobbyf1 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 4:26 amI noticed DR’s McL smoking on the first stint last race.
This was Toto Wolff at last year’s Hungarian GP:Jolle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:08 pmDon’t think it’s over filling. This are dry sump engines and the oil levels are very regulated (because of oil burning). Maybe it’s something else, I could imagine that for the initial startup they, for instance, spray a little oil down the air intake for the initial startup for the turbo. (Just very guessing here)
I wonder why the "issue" has made a re-occurrence now?zibby43 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:51 pmThis was Toto Wolff at last year’s Hungarian GP:Jolle wrote: ↑Wed Jul 21, 2021 12:08 pmDon’t think it’s over filling.

“You can see it when the oil tank is filled up at the beginning, we seem to have an issue that the oil gets out of the chassis.
“We don’t know where that comes from, but it seems [to be] when we fill it up to the top we are not in much control of how much escapes at the beginning.”
Just go ahead and spit out whatever accusation you have.

Just observations. Interesting none the less. Do you disagree and not even wonder just a little bit?zibby43 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 3:48 amJust go ahead and spit out whatever accusation you have.

Half of your posts are insinuating Merc are up to something, whether it be the shark fin or the PU.
