What exactly is Mobil using here (RBR F1 oil)?

You mean "Pablo"?

You're a real comedian.

Unfortunately, some self-proclaimed experts think that polymers are the worst there is. Now that you know that they themselves are used in Formula one, this fear is unfounded. Especially since few people know which polymers are used in which oil...

Maybe it's Maybelline

Mobilline?

I know, another Mobil 1 post. Sorry but I found this interesting.

"Mobil 1 has developed a breakthrough engine oil in collaboration with Honda Research and Development and Red Bull Racing Honda. The result of a multi-year research program to improve on the high standards set by the current Mobil 1 used by the Red Bull Racing Honda team.

ExxonMobil evaluated non-traditional lubricant components in pursuit of break-through performance. As an example, materials from the cosmetics industry were incorporated to enhance the product’s protective properties. The complex formulation is a careful balance of materials each designed to deliver specific performance benefits including more than 25% bio-sourced content and low ash additive chemistry."

I think they just whack in some Rotella T6 and an orange fram filter and call it a day.

If any of you guys follow F1, you'll notice Red Bull has really upped their car/engine the past few races. Apparently they have changed the engine oil they are using to something with vastly different additive pack that runs much hotter, and has upped the engine power substantially.

Any ideas what they're doing?

I am relatively certain it is hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN). I can’t imagine any

I am convinced they use hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_nitride

This magic juice must be in other cars now!

It's organic extra virgin olive oil! Hey, I'm Italian!

With over 50 "carrier" oils available for cosmetics

and the other chemistry included in cosmetics

it would be difficult to determine what their magical potion might be, but I would guess that it is some kind of natural oil or wax that has been "transesterified" and included in the formula. Transesterification is well known process in organic chemistry:

Reminds me of the LubeGard transmissin additive and their efforts to essentially synthesize particular oils or waxes formerly common in whale oil. I think they called it Liquid Wax Ester or something.

Mobil 1 is including the tears of Ferrari supporters in their oil. It’s a no brainer.

The secret ingredient is Lewis Hamilton's regrets.
