Diesel fuel would cause engine misfires, which if subtle enough, isn’t detected. Eventually the cylinder starts looking really ratty, meaning that blowby in that specific cylinder is increased.

I don’t know about other effects but ethanol increases octane rating while diesel drastically decreases it.

Wouldn’t it just clog up the injectors a bit? How does it ruin an engine? I call shenanigans.

The diesel doesn’t burn completely, some that’s left over remains in the cylinder and washes the oil off the cylinder wall, leading to premature ring and cylinder wear.

I would assume it’s mostly an issue here because it was being run in turbocharged engines, likely causing knock, causing piston and ring damage which leads to blow by

Quit before your head explodes. The majority of us know what you’re getting at. There are always going to be those few that can’t wipe themselves without help.

But the engine, the main focus of all of this, is the same.

“It’s got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas.”

Cooling and charging systems do not an engine make. There is no difference in the airbox or intake.

It’s really disappointing that Jalopnik doesn’t cover F1 better. I would like to talk about how ESPN gave us completely commercial free broadcast.

Yea I am not going to be watching that kind of racing. Formula E may be more your style.

These people work assuming everything goes well, they see the green light and the guy that handles the jack will drop it off, and the moment the car is dropped, the driver will take off. They can’t work assuming one of tires wasn’t exchanged because it will cost time — Vettel literally won the Australian GP because of…

Why doesn’t Jalopnik have an article about the race itself? It was the most exciting race in a while, and there’s just a story about Gasly and two about the Kimi incident. Real deal edge of your seat stuff for those last 7 laps. Battles throughout, accident between Ham/Ver, Hamilton passing 3 cars in one turn. Such…

In my previous role, I dealt a lot with equipment safety in manufacturing. When designing processes, the first priority was safety. Even though we had redundant electronic safeties in place, they were never intended to be used, and if they failed, a person shouldn’t be injured.

His crew only told him to stop they didn’t immediately say why on the radio, Kimi only could’ve known it was an unsafe release which is reason to throw his wheel, knowing his race is over and Seb is still out winning. I don’t think he could have known what even happened until someone told him once he got back inside…

The commentary team speculated about what went wrong but they could have no clue about what it was.

CEO and other exec’s don’t get their bonus?

Let me guess... the CEO and other executives still got their bonuses, despite the same “cash crisis.” This shit has to stop.

Good guy cop, idiot kid
