    yes it would whether by this new 3D innovation. Also, Petronas has developed a catalyst in the oil to react and give an added "boost" upon detonation in the combustion chamber. Surprised Shell has not come up with something like that....yet.

    Based on the amount of smoke that came out of the car, My monies on it being a turbo issue rather than a full engine failure.

    They've just wheeled the car back down the pitlane on the under-floor dollies and it stinks of burnt oil apparently.

    Overheating in turbo area is the reason for #Kimi7 's stop

    "I have a problem I think, engine has stopped," Vandoorne tells McLaren as he parks.

    Wow

    He first realised that there was a problem when the engine suddenly started to run smoother! :p
