"So last year (Royal Dutch) Shell were making quite an advertising show of how they as fuel and lube partners helped in Ferrari performance. Gone kinda quiet, eh! Maybe there are bigger corporate embarrassments that just Ferrari aka Fiat-Chrysler fessing up to what happened inside the '19 PU.

MB with Petronas have taken opposite approach with leaner-hotter burn (more oxygen to hydrocarbon than required stoichiometrically) and are now > three years ahead of Ferrari with this in the spirit of the rules approach and many years ahead of Honda on ERS efficiency. Where lean-burn / run hot is an issue is traditional MB low points. Tracks where turbo has to compress air-charge rather than spin MGU-H due to heat and altitude (Austria, Mexico, Brazil) if they solved in Austria, to RB chagrin, are they also on top of it at other bogey tracks. The run hot technique was used by MB for their V10/V8 to McLaren aerodynamic advantage back in the day also so they know a bit about lubing 5deg hotter crankshafts, Adrian Newey knows this of course. Only MB have, as far as I am aware, published their gross thermal efficiency >50% which was the object of the hybrid / fuel flow formula.

Andy Cowell won't pop up elsewhere in time to fix these fundamental design philosophies under PU rules thru 2024."

Meni je "okonja" asocijacija uopšteno za Mercedes, dok sam bio mali (1999. god) okonja Mercedesi su bili glavni svugdje

Cobra 11 se tad gledala
