And yet those Merc always seem to be filled to the brim with oil to the extent that there is unusually puffs of smoke coming out (not seen on other cars), some would say that is rather strange! :D
you have good eyes to tell how much oil they have in them.
 
I don't understand how running oil can help? Surely oil will burn less well than the high energy fuel they usually run? It's not like I can boost my engine by popping a little diesel in with the petrol?

Not sure what F1 you have bee watching but its quite common to see a blue puff of smoke when they first fire the F1 cars up:confused:
 
Ummm... already been clarified by the FIA. It's not allowed.

Cars were inspected in Canada last year too to confirm it wasn't happening.

Red Bulls were inspected multiple times for flexi wings and cleared, that didn't stop people on here calling them cheats for everyone of Vettels titles.


Anyway not a fan of Bottas but kinda surprised he's getting so close to Hamilton although I'm sure that will only happen in qualifying, he will know his place in the race. Just to try to take points of Vettel to help Hamilton build a lead. Clear air looks to be so much more important this year so starts will be so much more crucial than the last 3 or 4 years. I think the last race flattered Ferrari and it will be a Mercedes 1-2.

Not sure where you watch it from but I tend to see it trackside.

Anyway..clearly lots of Mercedes fanbois that have become upset by my comments..apologies!

However it seems its not just my eyes by a certain Christian Horner's too that thinks not all is as kosher as it seems with the oil issue:

Now we know how one gets to 13k+ posts on this forum!

That the best you can do? Grow up.

The FIA has ruled on the oil issue and all cars are now checked to ensure this isn't happening, yet you still persist on trying to spread your pathetic conspiracy theories.

As for Christian Horner, he's always been a whiner. Quite happy when Red Bull were dominating but, since Mercedes took over at the top, finds anything and everything to moan about. He's just bitter as Red Bull should have been up there at the front with the new aero regulations but it appears wonderboy Newey has screwed it up.
 
Really? MY feed must be miles behind as they're all leaving on inters or wets? I'm in NZ with hte Sky UK feed on Sky NZ and its normally no more than a minute behind reality.
 
Well back of the circuit maybe mainly dry so will be interesting to see how the inters either hold up or what happens if they switch to slicks!
