If Schumacher had been wearing a Halo while skiing, his accident wouldn't have caused any major injuries.

F1 is a death cult (not really news), MotoGP has gone to the dogs (good boys) and numbskulls in this thread don't seem to realize that the joke is actually "turn ON your monitor" because you can see your own reflection on a glossy computer screen when it's turned off, so it works similarly to "don't sign your posts".

Ferrari: Let's complain about burning oil, then vent our burning oil to the atmosphere to show how much more we're burning than everyone else.

During engine start, Ferrari claims the seals on the turbo don't fit perfectly, so oil is allowing through and burned by the engine. Once the turbo heats up, the seals correctly mate and the burning stops.

During the race, it's no longer allowed to use turbo waste gasses as part of the combustion mix, so Ferrari chose to vent them out a port in the back of the car next to the rain light. Other manufacturers have chosen to vent these gasses into the exhaust or into the engine bay, where they aren't as noticeable.

If your opponent cheats and everybody says its fair why on earth wouldn't you try the same thing?

But what Ferrari is doing is minor compared to merc last year.

Oil seals being designed to expand into proper seating as the engine warms is not a new thing in F1. I'm fairly certain that I heard or read somewhere before that the internal tolerances are so tight on a Formula engine that the pistons are technically seized when the block is at ambient temperature.

They also overfill the oil on these so as soon as the crankshaft starts turning it's gonna throw all the oil up the PCV.

With the V10s and V8s they had to run hot water through dedicated channels in the block just to heat it up so it can be started up lol

That's still true of current engines, though they have electric heating elements built in instead of external water. There are generators for each car on the starting grid if you look during a broadcast.
