Sorry. I've got no idea on oil pressure

Will be surprised if Mercedes are slowed up much, they handle problems better than most teams so will for sure be trying different oil levels at the track and at the extreme end maybe different cornering lines

Oil is heavy so teams try to run with the minimum but in this case they may want to run at max level as a few 100 grams extra could be the difference to finishing or blowing up

I've no inside info. just putting 2 and 2 together to come up with 5
