[Lewis was totally right, and screw Mercedes for trying to make it another boring 1-2 when it absolutely didn’t matter for the team].

You know what’s the real story? This fucking muppet got out of the car with power going to the wheels.

Pretty sure your comments are right. Low speed, so the slip is below the limits if the electronic controls. Very little droop, so it’s inevitable.

These guys need to get a grip.

If there’s a crack in the tube, you decelerate from the increased atmospheric resistance. There would be _more_ oxygen for you to breath compared to if there wasn’t a crack in the tube (since most hyperloop designs are a semi-vacuum, and a crack would let air in).

VW really needs to get into NASCAR. Their cheating will finally get the award and respect it deserves.

I agree. It’s easy to program a car to drive at or under the limit of adhesion on a preprogrammed line. It’s even easy to program a car to deal with traffic. I want to see what happens when ESM and Traction Control are banned and the AI needs to deal with loss of traction, emergency maneuvers, regaingin control of the…

In further news, Frank Williams will not be travelling to Brazil for the race, as he has to attend the birth of the team’s reserve driver…

I’m not an Engineer, but I’m pretty sure there is supposed to be a COTD named in the COTD post.

Hell yeah! It’s about damn time we have another Canuck in F1!

Hell yes on more gravel traps and getting rid of DRS and reducing aero so the cars in the lead (in clean air) aren’t the ones with the advantage. Honestly, these races seems more about a fast qualifying and then tire management than anything else.

I’ve been watching alot of older races lately and agree with your assessment for the most part. If you look at the late 80s or early 90s, the dominance of a single team or driver was just as bad as the dominance of Mercedes now or RBR in 2013.

Terrific reply, thanks. Yes, nostalgia can be a very selective process. But let me have my moment.

And has a young Brazilian riding it.

Great writeup. Best of all, you’ve pointed out there are several “bridges too far” that really lie beyond VW’s responsibility. Owning, operating, and maintaining a car costs money. For those expenditures, an owner expects to be able to drive themselves from Point A to Point B on an ongoing basis. The nastiness of…

Best. Pickup line. Ever.

When I first saw it I thought it looked like the love child of a Cayenne and Range Rover Evoque.

The sidewalk is rarely utilized for bicycles because it is rarely legal for them to do so. In most states, bicycles are legally vehicles. And it is illegal to use your vehicle on the sidewalk. What you are suggesting is akin to saying “The PC elites may disagree, but traffic would be a lot lighter if cars just hopped…
