The current designs are as well as they can do with the regulations. The problem is, the frontal area of the bulkhead (width and height) is defined, and as soon as the bulkhead finishes they can do what they want. So you get a 'step' transition from the bulkhead to the nose, which looks horrendous, but is…

Honourable mention to Rowan Atkinson for wrecking his McLaren F1. But the dude daily drives a McLaren F1, so he gets mad props.

Because teams want to keep the bulkhead as high as possible to allow more air under the chassis. Same reason the point of the nose is as thin as possible: so that as much air as possible is allowed either side to pass under the car.

Debatable. Many style guides would say that NES was pronounced "en ee ess", in which case it would definitely be "an NES".

Dacon used to be Brazil's Porsche importer, but when imports were put on hold, they decided to build cars. The 828 was the result. The 828 used a number of Porsche parts, and they made it to resemble a Porsche 928. Kind of. Like a 928 if it was smushed. It has VW power and a top speed of 88 MPH. Just 47 were sold…

Having said that, it's only a couple of years since Jenson's former team-person (they definitely weren't mates) Jacques Villeneuve considered coming back to the sport as a team owner and driver. Although that's probably explained by Jacques being somewhat insane.

They should make Button team principal and driver. It's been a while since we've had one of those!

Am I the only one who thinks Durex when they read 'VAG umbrella'?

Remember when Nintendo claimed that the DS brand was a 'third pillar' that would coexist with the Gameboy brand for years to come?

And don't forget sportscar racing. Or motorbikes. Basically, all motorsport.

Whether you like Formula 1 or not, it has some great glitches.

The stats I gave above were all total race distance divided by total race time – in other words, they take pitstops, safety cars and everything else into account. Monza only took 1 hour and 18 minutes to complete a slightly greater distance than the Hungarian Grand Prix.

My stats are for average speed over the race. Worked out with facts and a calculator. It's common knowledge that the Hungaroring is one of the slowest tracks on the calendar – I just backed it up with some math.

Also, given that it's in the rules of the formula that all grands prix (apart from Monaco) must take place over the same distance (give or take a couple of kilometres), there's a very easy way to estimate which race had the highest average speed: just look at how long it lasted.

As you'll see in my other comment, the average race speeds (race distance/race time) were higher at Suzuka, Silverstone and Monza, at least. The Hungaroring stat at the top is just plain wrong.

Honda's F1 budget was estimated to be around one billion a year. When you consider that they spent two seasons entirely focussed on creating their 2009 car, that means the total cost invested in developing the BGP001 was nearly $2 billion.

It didn't (see my other comment).

I don't believe that the Hungaroring is the fastest track on the calendar – it hardly has a single straight and most of the corners are low to medium speed. According to my calculator, Hamilton's average speed in Hungary was 179.5kph (306.63km race distance divided by 1:42 race time), far lower than the average speeds…
