Thanks Capt. That is interesting. I have always loved the Porsche engineers that designed the 911 dry sump oil system when I am on the track puttering around in my slug slow old 85 911. I never give oil pressure a thought and check the gauge only on occasion. I remember the days of autocross and track days in my 914 and seeing the oil pressure light pop on in long corners.
No doubt Mercedes will have a lot of really smart people working on a solution. From what I gathered from the FP 1 & 2 the G- meters in the cars are calibrated for lateral movement and not for vertical moment. I just wonder how much vertical G they feel on those carousel - roller coaster corners. Do they all walk around with 60 pound weights on their helmets to strengthen their neck muscles? It must be brutal.
