Red Bull: Performance benefits of oil burning are obvious

MONZA, Italy -- Red Bull is certain any team running a higher oil burn level than allowed in the regulations will have a clear performance advantage over its rivals.

Ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, the FIA has confirmed all engines introduced from Monza onwards will be limited to an oil consumption level of no more than 0.9 litres per 100km. The subject of oil burning has been under the spotlight since the start of the year when the FIA reminded teams it is illegal to gain a performance advantage by using oil as fuel.
