That the actual racing is neglible compared to F1's other emissions sources has long been known. Transport of people and material makes up around 70% of emissions, with on-track drivng only 0,7%.

Here is a fun little comparison:

It would be interesting to see what the training is like.

The market was never really looking for actual business potential, at least not the institutional investors. Amateurs might have been looking for potential for long-term profit, but many of the professionals that trade start-up stock were just playing reverse musical chairs: Drive up a stock as much as possible and…

The engine wasn’t illegal. The FIA had to release a technical directive and change the fuel flow measuring to stop Ferrari from what doing what they were doing. If you go strictly by the wording of the 2019 rules, the engine was legal, even if it violated the intent of the rules.

This comment’s whole thread is more american than a Ford F150 loaded with shotguns and triple Baconators

Buying energy from renewable producers doesn’t make bitcoin any cleaner. In almost all industrialised countries, renewable is running at high capacity, and gas and coal fill up the market depending on weather and demand. If you add a consumer the size of the Netherlands to the market, the suppliers have to add the…

I would really like to see Tesla’s and Musk’s bitcoin trading over the last few weeks.

This isn’t even exclusive to electric cars. If the battery in a modern Jaguar Land Rover car goes flat, the car will have exactly the same problem. I would assume that the Tesla uses more power when powered off and locked than other cars, since it needs to be available for OTA updates and remote commands via app, makin…

And so does every other teams front wing.

On the harder difficulties, the Alien figures out all items if they are used too often. At some point it will realise that the flamethrower doesn’t kill it, and also understand decoys.

They sell an “enhanced autopilot”, which is basically lane assist and autopark, and “potential for self-driving”, which has replaced the “Full Self-Driving capability” they used to sell.

With current rules, Badoer would have scored in his fourth race, and in eleven in total.

Last year, a court in Germany ruled that this does constitute false advertising.

Meanwhile in Grünheide:

In Germany, the Model 3 is still registered with a 30-min rating of 153kW, or around 30% of its peak rating, which is better than the S and X, but still not something I would use for a track car.

Tesla batteries are also known to run into overheating after relatively short high-power use, going for a lower density but better cooled battery would be a good move for a track car.

The funniest thing was when earlier this week Mazepin complained that Schumacher had an unfair advantage. He argued that Schumacher has a massive advantage because he is supported by Ferrari and alleged that Mick can prepare in the Ferrari simulator(Haas doesn’t have one) and has been better prepared than him because…

After every rule change since the first appearance of the Audi R10, LMP1 were always faster than what the ACO had targeted. The problem here is that the ACO went and used 2006 pace as target, while keeping the LMP2s, which in normal configuration were seconds faster than that. When the plan was announced, many people…
