No, it isn’t. That comment was a joke about how Senna predicted a crash before Suzuka 1990, made a move that had no chance of working, took out Prost, and is everybody’s hero, while Schumacher was DQed for turning in on Villeneuve who had a very optimistic braking point.

That is still illegal, and in previous races penalties were given out for this kind of move.

Just needs to make sure to announce it before the race, otherwise it’s illegal.

I do remember Vettel getting a penalty for that sort of thing in exactly the same situation(team 1-2, double pit stop)

What does Musk’s version of an apocalypse look like that it would leave reliable, compatible chargers abundantly available?

In the pre-GT3 era the N24H definitely had cooler cars than today. Turbinchen, the E46 M3, the DTM cars, the Raeder Ford GT etc.

Autobahn fuel station are always a lot more expensive than those in towns, not just for fuel, but also everything else. The one closest to my home currently lists Diesel 30ct/liter cheaper than what David paid, and the two stations appear to be of the same brand.

The question is not whether the factory could pollute drinking water in case of a technical failure, but how high the probability of an accident is and if there are sufficient safety measures. Environmental campaigners gained further motivation a few months ago when a report paid for by Tesla found that storage of…

Tesla’s delays are mostly manufactured by Tesla itself.

It should also be noted that this kind of plans usually only talk about banning ICE vehicles, without offering viable alternatives. In the weight range above 26 tons, which are the 5 or 6 axle tractor-trailer combinations. In the EU those have an average transported load of around 19 tons, with a payload capacity of…

Meanwhile, after documented violations against building permits and environmental regulations and alleged labor violations authorities have now raided Tesla’s Grünheide construction site to see what else is going on.

This is a funny picture, but it points towards the biggest problem with autonomous cars: While driving, we often break rules. Not because we like to, but because the traffic situation demands it, like when you can’t merge onto the highway because of traffic and have to cut into the hard shoulder or when debris forces…

I can’t really see this happening, at least not without an override. A GPS-based system would produce errors like speeding in construction zones, and the camera-based systems around today often struggle with reading conditional speed limits correctly. If one car only reads the speed limit and another does understands…

It’s also not that good at being a track toy. If it can run 3:20 at Le Mans, it is only a small amount faster than LMP2 cars that have a huge  power and downforce deficit. An LMP2 would arguably be the better choice as a track toy if you really want that kind of performance(3G is a range where it is possible to be not…

The more interesting comparison would be against LMP2 cars, which are available for purchase to anyone. They run 3:25 at Le Mans, and are likeley closer on a less power-sensitive track, and cost 1/6th of the Valkyrie, so it would arguably be the better choice to buy one and then have a sportscar race team run your…

Maybe David should send his autocorrect to Sandy.

The EU has no jurisdiction over cars sold in other markets. BMW could sell as many 320 as they can in other markets, if their EU fleet emissions are within the limit the EU doesn’t fine them.

What is often overlooked when talking about the Tesla factory is how much Tesla is contributing to the delays. They very recently filed for another change of plan, which they have done multiple times, only to then complain that it takes too long to get approved. Which would be expected if you present the officials…

Do americans actually think we all love Hasselhoff, or are they just following the same meme?
