It says Mercedes mixing fuel with oil for qualifying boost.
http://autoweek.com/article/formula-...alifying-boost
They do it after it enters the engine, at the top end. They do it in the car. When it is moving. The oil can be checked and rechecked by the stewards, then when the car is moving, they mix it, so they get more fuel into the cylinder. So its a way of bypassing the 100l/h fuel flow rate.
Let me get this straight, so not only do they have the fuel in the fuel tank(which does'nt get refueled during a race), they also have a "depletion" of oil from the oil reservior during a GP race to get this so called "boost"??? And per your statement, the oil is checked and rechecked by the stewards SO WHAT IS CHECKED? the oil formula? or oil level? or both? If so, would'nt the level raise an "eyebrow" and then the stewards question why this excessive depletion of oil is happening?
But the oil is getting burned anyway because there is little oil onnthe cylinder walls, so, instead of burning oil, it will burn the fuel in the oil. But they dont do it all the time, only when they need a boost. Remember, magic button? Also, during qualifying they can really get away with it. And this was not brought up by me, it was in an article. I had the link there.
I realize that oil from the cylinder wall gets burned in the combustion chamber, every combustion engine known to man does that and I read said link that you provided but if you have an idea or hypothetical and you base it on said article with having no back up to refute what I am getting to then just list the article, let us read it and if you have back-up to add to the article then so be it. An F1 car burns about 3 to 5ltrs of oil(V-6T-H) at said GP race as this is nothing knew in F1 depending on the engine formula. Now any more oil depletion would raise a red flag by the stewards and question it. HOWEVER, additives to the OIL(Shell, BP, Petronas, etc) are not governed by the FIA(the fuel is governed) and can make a combustion engine work "more efficiently."

Why so hostile? I was just sharing what I found. Also, I am a Automotive Engineer by trade, so, I can see how they mix fuel with oil in the engine, to get a boost from the oil to bypass the fuel flow regulations. Just sharing information and I get yelled at. WOW. If you want, go talk to FIA, not me. I LISTED THE ARTICLE ON A PREVIOUS POST! THERE IS A LINK! LOOK ABOVE ON THE PAGE PLEASE BEFORE ACCUSING ME PLEASE!
HERE!!! HAPPY??? PLEASE LOOK BEFORE YOU ACCUSE!!!

Come on guys, we are here to talk about our cars and share information.
Why come an attack even before you read the previous posts and get the full story.
I am sorry, but please, moderator, please ask people to be polite and not attack others blindly without basis. If it goes like that, I think people will loose interest. No one likes to be blamed and attacked for no reason.
I posted that link so people will see, and I just wanted to share it with all of you.
Please be polite, no one here is dumb.
Also, I was explaining what was happening because some people might be interested to know how it can happen.
How about in the oil ADDITIVE they(Shell, BP, Petronas) add a catalyst and upon "detonation" in the cylinder chamber this "catalyst" reacts with the fuel and creates a "boost" effect; due to oil being left on the cylinder walls plus the air/fuel mixture by the ECU governed by the FIA?
Also, you stated in an earlier post about "torque-vectoring" being in F1 cars and substantiated that all F1 cars had this!!!!!! This was not true as the Moderator Rob said it was due to suspension setup and I backed up his statement about the "FRIC" suspension. While you may be an automotive engineer by trade, some of your "automotive engineering" IDEAS are to be questioned in this forum when it comes to F1 cars.
First of all, I DID NOT SAY ALL F1 cars had this torque vectoring, I said maybe Mercedes have it. Why you guys are attacking me? I was just giving ideas, be open, dont be dismissive. Yes, FRIC suspension system is one thing. The Red Bull does not behave the same way as the Mercedes in slow corners, even when red bull has some sort of FRIC system, (according to lot of journalists). Every car has a little bit of sliding effect on the front end when turn in to a corner, and the RedBull has it too. But, the Mercedes has so much less from on board and videos I have seen. This is why I say about torque vector. Its like the rear wheels help with steer, the car has a pivoting effect into the corners. I am not saying they do have 100%, I dont know for sure, I am not a working for Mercedes, but to me, it looks like they have some type of a system like that. I never said all cars have it, please, dont say things I never said.
Ferrari engine performance 'amazing' – Haas Mar. 5, 2017

I think this was self-evident during testing from a reliabilty aspect.....now lets see how it does in Melbourne and from then on when they "turn-it-up" from a performance aspect.

FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
Is that all our testing days done and dusted now?
Anyone think we use to testing days to try set up changes which require time as these days are governed by distance(100km), not time.
Therefore in the testing we can just get on with hetting as much running as possible without lenghty delays

There have already been suggestions that the developments - allied to it pushing more on engine maps - could deliver a further two-seconds of performance, with times in the 1m18s region tipped.
