In addition to reminding the 10 stables of Formula 1 the ban on burning anything other than gasoline in the combustion chamber of their hybrid propellant in its last technical directive published before the Brazilian Grand Prix, the FIA also asked teams to list all liquids and fluids used in their engine and in what quantities.
The stables must therefore send a detailed table which will notably list the following information:
- Fluid type: engine oil, turbocharger oil, gearbox oil, etc.
- Liquid specification: chemical composition and presence of additives
- Quantity of fluid generally present in the car
- Quantity of fluid generally consumed and reasons for this consumption, knowing that this must logically tend towards 0.
- Reasons why a liquid other than gasoline could end up in the combustion chamber and via what route
These values will thus serve as reference thresholds for the FIA when the Federation carries out its own measurements. Remember that there is an oil consumption tolerance set at 0,6 L per 100 km (0,3 L per 100 km from next year). The stables have until Friday, November 15 to submit their data to the regulatory body.
According to our information, this part of the latest federal technical directive does not expressly aim Ferrari since all manufacturers must reveal their cards. The performances of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc in free practice this Friday at Interlagos suggest that federal restrictions have not muzzled the powerful Italian turbo V6, contrary to what Austin's minus shot might have suggested.
