Ferrari + Shell Info

Post

Found this in January's Road and Track

Every kilo (2.2lb) of fuel weight saved translates to a .05 second quicker race lap

The stresses are so intense in today's 20,000-plus-rpm f1 engines that the connecting rods stretch 1mm and the piston heads flex at speed

Fuel gets pumped into the Ferrari during a pitstop at 12 litres per second-25 times faaster than your gas station pump

Shell's gearbox fluid engineers can look at a sample and know if it came from either Schumacher's or Massa's scarlet machine

Shell produces eight to nine race fuel blends for Ferrari

Michael Schumacher can detect when a different type of fuel has been added to the car while testing; the smae goes for drive shaft lubricants
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
