F1 cars can sustain invertion for as long as there is gas in the tank and they don't run out of tunnel.

Are F1 cars designed with fuel delivery and lubrication systems that can work in any orientation (I'd expect probably yes since they are subject to such high G forces in turning, accelleration and braking)? I've never quite understood how fuel delivery and oil circulation can work in aircraft where you never know exactly which direction "down" will be - it would seem logical that F1 cars would use similar mechanisms.

'that's just inertia' he says as though it happens every day :rolleyes: Well mister I could sustain it too as long as there was gas in the tank and I was wearing my brown trousers. :jester:
