What lube do you use in your M my friend..
I see my friend .
I'm using Castrol Edge or the BMW M Twin Power Turbo (recommended by BMW)
Both are 10W60 for the S65 engine .
With the BMW M Twin Power Turbo oil , my S65 runs smoother (made by Shell Helix Ultra Racing)

That's a good choice, the only thing is you can only get those from Bm dealer in 1 litre handy fills where I get mine in 4 litre containers, so if I buy three 4 litre ones from Costco I have enough for any top ups should they be needed.
The 10-60 is not recommended for the 4.4 V8 F10 because of the tight tolerances of the con rod bearings, problem being at start up the oil is too thick to penetrate quickly.

Maximus is SO fast in the wet!!!!

You are spot-on calling out Senna....the videos of him driving past his opponents in the wet....as if they were stopped!!!!

Well done UKM5!!!! This is a proper oil change, performed with LOVE.

My drive is angled up and with the wood blocks in place under front wheels I wanted all the old oil in the oil cooler to come out also.

As we know my friend . By COVID the F1 races are planned much later in this '20 season .
Logically seen , this means the chances of wet races are also bigger ...


"Yesterday" The first F1 trucks already arrived in Austria (Red Bull Ring)

I'm thankful that Senna was well before Max's time,I believe Max wasn't yet born on that fateful day for Senna at Imola in '94.

I too am surprised Max has chosen this particular Ferrari,I can't see it being driven that often with no weather protection...I didn't even know Ferrari had such a model.

Yeah I see my friend . But..
The car would be delivered directly from Maranello in the "sunny" Monaco (of course)

Side note : Yesterday I mowed my grass . No wait ! Actually I mowed my hay !

My friend . I don't have grass anymore . It's burned by the sun . It's actually yellow hay covered in dust ..
Last Friday the sky looked pitch black, and we got a thunderstorm . But I got only a few drops of rain ..
For the moment I can see dark clouds , but no rain is coming. We need rain ASAP .

"Interesting"

Motor racing is an innovative sport when it comes to engines and cars, but there is also a lot of innovation in the peripheral areas. One of the recent developments is a biometric shirt that drivers are able to use. The FIA has approved a new fire-resistant and biometric shirt from Marelli and OMP Racing.


"VISM"

The shirt is short for "VISM" which stands for 'Vital Signs Monitor' and this has come about through a collaboration between Marelli and OMP Racing. Apart from being fire resistant, this shirt is also equipped with a system that can read vital signs from the driver and communicate them to people at the pit wall.

Yes my friend . The water pressure is also gone from the tap . In the last 2 weeks we were 3 days without water .
Our ground water level was "never" so low since 1831 . Disaster !
