Considering how little money latex tubing costs, why do these teams not have them on the belts like the pros do?

Conor is, in fact, driving down with Hinch right now:

"There are a ton of drivers who do this, for what it's worth"

Interesting - I'm sure if this wasn't a domestic model there'd be uproar and the usual utter drivel about 'unintended acceleration'. The brake lights didn't come on at all until the car was almost completely out of the car wash.

Yeesh, that's ugly. The sharp edges and curves just do not gell for me one little bit and the proportions seem.... off. Like it's too long for its height or too low for its length. One or the other. The pass through rear buttresses* are also pretty horrible and just look like a waste of space/concept car unrealism to…

This may well be one of those extra bits of info that suggests that modern jet crashes do not produce recoverable black boxes in water crashes with enough repeatability. I know they are talking about mandating a greater than 30 day ping trigger since the Malaysian crash a while ago, but perhaps they also need to…

"A rear wheel drive car fitted with proper snow tires, in the hands of a good driver is as good as anything else in the snow."

Several times back when I was maybe 17-18? Minor offs similar to this, but always on a country road, not in a built up area. But despite my protestations as the dust was settling it was entirely driver error and I realised that when I calmed down (and my mates called me a cock - quite rightly). I didn't make up some…

I am a high performance driving instructor and a race car engineer. Does that count? Because it should.

His explanation doesn't hold water. He floored it and the car snapped on him - that bit is true. His claims that 5 degrees of right lock being enough to correct it is bullshit - it looks to me like he froze. There was no appreciable lock correction - not even 90 degrees of the steering wheel, and certainly not fast…

Franck has always been pretty wild - I met him back in 1998 and he was a total nutcase. Causing havoc at a McDonalds drive thru in Le Mans with Eric Bernard in a rental car.

When we were doing straight line testing at Santa Pod raceway (English drag strip) back in 2008 with the Panoz Hybrid electric prototype (we were doing power steering and ABS tests of a system bought from Williams F1 for the Le Mans programme) the driver stated - loudly and clearly and often - that it was "fucking…

I had some relatively severe turbulence coming to Canada from Mexico once. I always wear my seat belt so I was trying to ignore it and read my book but when it was bad enough that the pilot dropped altitude by about 10,000 feet relatively quickly for cleaner air (and with my book hitting me in the face and my being…

" he would chop competitors up every time they tried to pass him under braking."

All his cars have been up for sale for a while, but only for top dollar.

The problem is always budget. Either the amount of it or where you spend it. Always.

There is no way anyone with a brain cell could possibly suggest that example gives an even remotely accurate conclusion on the benefits of AWD versus 2 wheel drive in the snow. AWD > 2WD in the snow. Winter Tyres > All season > summer tyres. Two entirely separate conclusions. neither of which is proven or otherwise by…

I'm really pleased for him - this is probably the best non-race seat in F1 right now. He gets to learn from Kimi and Vettel (not exactly shit comparisons) and if he gets some Friday running or test running and shows well, this may seal his reputation. He needs a break, poor guy, because the Sauber was an utter shit…

What if they don't have a vehicle available that they can put a dog in? Do you still think that is discriminatory of his disability?

I fully understand what a service dog is and what it does. And why, and how justified/essential they are. I am not saying that he could leave the dog at all - <b>crucially, neither was the dealership</b>. He didn't have to leave the dog, he didn't even have to walk. He was provided with a perfectly serviceable new…
