F1 oil smoke
Sometimes during sighting laps, warm up laps etc, oil smoke is seen billowing from the exhausts on the current F1 cars, often for a few seconds, sometimes longer. Looks for all the world like a detonation. I'm assuming it is fierce blow-by due to piston ring tolerances not being too precise. Brundle often refers to oil over-fills. I'm led to believe there are two rings- a compression and a scraper. Is this the case? I'd apprecite any feedback to illuminate this for me.
 Cheers

i'd put money on it just being extra oil that overflows into the dumps in the exhaust system, probably the mechanics intentionally overfill it slightly so that they get the max they can in there when it burns off
