Petronas this year.
Petrobras needs to homologate their fuel and oil(s) with Mercedes engines.

Glancing quickly through the thread, I don't see reference to something I saw in the Spanish GP.

On Bottas' car there was an onboard view looking at the front suspension where it connects to the hub. Seeing it really quick towards the end of the shot I noticed either one of the arms or the steering link had a 'knuckle' at the end of it that was in a goldish colored metal that was extending and retracting back into itself as the suspension worked.

Not sure if this is a common bit of kit on all the cars... I need to watch the race again to find the shot as it was a little curious.
