AlanHo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Apparently Bernie Ecclestone has found a way to ensure the Bahrain F1 race can go ahead on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludgard Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I hope the poor fellow lying in front of the red Ferrari isn't pulling a Tiananmen stunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I hope the poor fellow lying in front of the red Ferrari isn't pulling a Tiananmen stunt.My guess is that it is a Red Bull techie squirting oil under the ferarri treads to ensure that the Red Bull makes a faster start.

bludgard Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Maybe it's WD-40 he's lubing it with.It is quite possible if he read andsomes exaustive praise of the product.Anyhow,the guy under the tread better be careful.I do not see the Red Bull's armed operators about.Makes me think they are the ones that are capturing the enemy at work....Probable proof before positive execution.

Gandalph Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I wonder how many pit stops they will have to make before the race ends. Those things only do about four miles to the gallon. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 four miles to the gallon. :D That'd be one hell of an economical tank, with a fuel capacity of 1457 Litre and a range of 300 miles that's nearer 0.9 mpg for a bog standard M60. I'll bet the tuned F1 versions can't even manage that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet the tuned F1 versions can't even manage that.A current F1 car has a maximum tank size of 210 litres (46.2) gallons. Refuelling during a race is no longer permitted. The average race length is 300 Km (186 miles) - hence if the car uses the total tank capacity during the race the average petrol consumption over the length of the race will be 4.0 mpg.
