This whole game happens so often I think you have to consider that something else is happening here. When Mr E. was running things he would lay a whopper of a comment in the press, something outlandish and perhaps a little insane. This drove attention to F1 during the down times, maybe this is the game here?
A further…

Yes, I guess I should have said (shifting the blame) that the TV commentators say every single time that they took the aero advantage away and over the winter the teams clawed it all back which equals just as much speed, I have hear every single time.

You might be right I don’t watch any motor sport other than F1. I feel the left and right tight nature of a typical F1 track would make such speed perceptions almost impossible to see.

I agree but I think the combo that would work is 1500hp and massive slippery tires. Driver skill baby!

I remember this. Kimi was driving for McLaren and he was 3rd or 4th, as the race came to an end he would snap off a fastest lap in defiance of the race gods. This is why I don’t really like this idea, it made me mad. The TV commentators would talk about what Kimi had done so much it was a distraction and it was an…

For years drivers have complained about not being able to follow or get close enough to and pass the car ahead because of the wash of air onto their car. This subject is one of F1’s 8 endlessly conversations, and when the FOM started planing to solve this problem everyone thought it was about air coming from the back…

I think the writer of this story did a review of a Bentley Continental, isn’t that super? Has the power, speed, luxuriousness, technology and overall quality. Seems super to me. Oh, I see, the Bentley was super duper, my mistake.

Easy solution.
The show starts in a windowless office, night, everyone looks like they haven’t slept in two weeks, the sound of the florescent lights fill the sound track. One guy is standing with anger on his face, he pointedly looks at his antagonist. Words spill out of his mouth like an overrunning oil tank, I’ll…

The insight I get about the show is they are going for the non F1 fan. Christian Horner might be the sound track for the whole thing, because he can spew hours of BS about anything while avoiding the truth, the TV folks might think he is golden.
This is a highly commercial tease which uses an unusual amount of non…

The truth is, human error did in Curiosity. If I were of a conspiratorial mind I would say Curiosity was killed!
The history is, days before Curiosity was to be put into its yearly seasonal sleep mode it was losing power rapidly. NASA openly spoke of their worries that they would not be able to get Curiosity into a…

Always wanted to fly in an L1011, never got the chance.

Sure was good for them, look who’s running DOD! Ha!

Obvious...

Boeing keeps losing on the military side of things, I just don’t get it. They build some nice airliners though.

For what it’s worth, Ecclestone sold his ownership percentage to a British investment company called CVC in around 2002, CVC sold F1 to Liberty.
Just as an aside, During the CVC ownership CVC produced two bond issues each for two billion dollars. This money was put into the pockets of CVC and the interest payments…

I don’t have a link. The story that had the 60 minutes clip was published on Gizmodo. As I remember the story had to do with China’s growing competence in space and the threat this posed to US satellites. The 60 minutes clip was meant to buttress how the US military is on top of this issue interviewing the General in…

By all means, let’s chase our tails. Another anti F35 story on a blog that does that for a living.
You’re chasing your tail if you think boost phase is where it’s at and somehow a plane will have something to do with it. There are many proposals to repurpose or add capabilities to the big weapons programs all the…

I am not completely sure of what you’re saying. My confusion comes from knowing that this era engine was first raced in 2014 and the specs were set down in 2010. Honda started development of their first of this era engine a year later than the others. Whatever engine Honda has now is still part of the new era engine.…

We really don’t know what’s going to happen in the future regarding this technology, there are many things which are likely to happen. If I have ideas how things will change, and I do, there are many others who have many more ideas, there is mystery in the future.
It is highly likely that 8k or 10k will find a purpose…

“If anything, though, Honda’s ability to make realistic goals is inspiring”.
Do you mean uninspiring?
This just in, after six years of development and four years of on-track racing Honda has announced that they will be having someone else make their turbo. That’s right folks one of the most important power generators in…
