Whether or not he assaulted her probably depends on her. It was initially claimed by her and the Mazepin camp that she wasn’t bothered by it, even though a later social media post by her seemed to contradict that statement, so any criminal case or even sacking him for breach of contract would rely on her, which is…

The white bargeboards are also not going to be white for long. There are two things on racecars that should never be painted in light colours, and those are the wheels because of brake dust, and the lower front end of the side pod because of road dirt and tire marbles. Alpha Tauri just made both white.

I think a lot of the aversion to minivans comes from two factors. One is that minivans used to be what every parent drove before SUV became a thing, and people do not like to emulate their parents’ culture, whether it is with pop culture or cars, so they get the next best thing(even though the next best thing would be…

Grounding with the hose would be really dangerous, as a charged car would then immediately spark right at the hose connector, even though that is sealed until properly mounted, that is still high risk, which is why F1 teams taped metal strips to the ground, which then grounded the chassis via the skidblocks

And that is a lot compared to other countries. In Germany, there are currently 13, which is less than it has states. Some major cities don’t have one within 2 hours of driving(with a working car of course).

Where do you live that a loaner isn’t standard for long repairs?

Last year, Youtube suggested to me a documentary about trucking in the 70s(made in the 70s). At one point one of the drivers was smoking while refueling and stated: “It isn’t dangerous, it’s Diesel”

About static electricity:

To be fair, most of Texas’ problems seem to be caused by an inadequate power grid rather than power stations.

I haven’t really had any truly absurd moments, so the most surprising thing I encountered was probably the inflight entertainment system on a Lufthansa 747-8 featuring season reviews/highlight reels of ‘90s Bundesliga(german soccer league) seasons. I also once had to fly with a big trophy as carry-on, which drew a lot…

And we can assume the Indycar to have half the downforce of the ID.R to start with, and that is probably an optimistic assumption.

I don’t see the Indycar breaking the record. Even with an engine boosted into nirvana, it is only a rear-wheel drive car and has a longer wheelbase than the ID.R, and both will hurt it through the hairpins, of which there are plenty.

Packaging is probably the reason for the layout. They have to keep the impact structure and suspension, as redisigning them would be expensive. I would also expect them to use a motor+controller set-up that is already under development, possibly for a French or Italian project. And as since electric motors are not as…

That looks like the car was in an accident and was repaired for approximately 50$.

Don’t forget that the wall cost several times more per mile than previous constructions, and the job was given to major donors, sometimes in no-bid awardings, which I’m sure is purely coincidental and not suspicious at all...

This reminds me of the 911 Turbo launch control stunt, where Road and Track did 50 starts in close succession with constant performance, while other cars go in limp mode after two.

I don’t see the FIA having issues with barriers close to the track, as long as they are good. Watkins Glen would probably need to install new ones, but would not need to move them. The FIA re-approved Zandvoort with no hassle because it was a historic track, and the section from Gerlachbocht to Scheivlak is definitely…

I don’t see how you would have to change the characteristics of the tracks to make them Grade 1.

Converting club tracks into Grade 1 is a lot easier said than done. These tracks are often very narrow and cramped to save space and money, and they also lack the paddock space for international racing. Apart from that, the runoffs and barriers would have to be built all-new, as they would have to dissipate 5 times…

The modern day equivalent to the 2005 or 2014 rules would have been a maximum wheelbase, but instead they make a change that benefits low-rake cars like the Mercedes
