This comes with a high amount of red tape. Note that he dances around things a lot in this video, giving you just enough to get the general gist of things that's already public knowledge (or not hidden behind NDAs). The video takes a good look at F1's era of oil burning from 2014-2020, after fuel flow was limited. You can't physically pump more fuel into the engine so they found another combustion source. If you watched F1 in this era, particularly 2017-2020, you may have noticed how much smoke was on the track from burning so much oil. It's a good watch, a little on the shorter side from some of his other videos. Take what you may from it. It does touch on base oils and additives that may influence this use.

 
GREAT VID!!! not into F1 so know little except its sofisticated + $$$$. i learned something again thanks Lake!!!
 
Hate to break it to you but Lake Speed Jr don’t know everything. Honestly I prefer to listen to OVERKILL, Molakule, TomNJ, and other members here.
