Ferrari and Shell showed a fantastic fuel test – Videos

[f1365]

The Italian F1 team Ferrari and their associate Shell showed charming testing last week, Shell V-Power fuel you put in your road car is in any way the same to the Shell V-Power race fuel used by the Ferrari F1 team at each F1 race.

Formula 1 governing body, FIA regulations instruct that F1 race fuels must be composed of compounds normally found in commercial fuels, but there are some tightly controlled areas where they can innovate with additives for more power or to control temperatures and such like. A lot of work goes into this.

Watch the video, Alonso tested Shell V-Power road fuel in his Ferrari F1 car - http://www.formula1onlive.com/2011/08/ferrari-and-...

I was pretty disapointed in the BBC for showing what was effectively a crap advert for Shell and of very little factual use at all.
