He was only “already in front” because of the extra speed he carried into the turn, which was only possible by using the runoff area on the other side of the turn. He literally could not have completed the pass without using the runoff area. In other words, his pass was made possible by using the runoff.

He had all…

From what I could see, yes.

1. Vettel was only ahead of Hamilton because of the extra speed he carried into the turn, which he was only able to do because of the runoff area. He literally could not have completed that pass without using the runoff area. Ergo, he used the runoff to complete the pass.
2. Start/Lap 1 is a specific circumstance…

See Vettel’s opening lap pass against Hamilton...

Vettel used the runoff to gain a position over Hamilton on the opening lap. Why wasn’t that one called?

“...they’ll always call it when it happens during a pass or during a qualifying lap.”

I wouldn’t say they “don’t do rigorous enough testing.” I know people love to hate on OEMs, but in reality they do a metric SHIT TON of testing. The reality is that things will happen no matter HOW much testing you do.

That’s why occasionally NASA loses a multi-billion dollar space probe 10 years into a mission even…

When it came time for me to take my driver’s test, my dad and I went over all the documents I would be needing several times, and laid everything out for the next day. Most importantly, the 6 points worth of identification.

Of course, the next day, when I arrived at the testing location, I didn’t have my Passport…

It’s a great idea in theory, but I suspect that with what’s at stake up there, they really want everyone to be perfectly able-bodied just in case.

He needs to carry stuff, and he needs to look slow, but be fast, and have a manual? I know just the thing...

People said the same thing about computers... and cell phones... and smartphones... and internet-connected vehicles... and smart TVs... etc...

I think that Google needs to combine its Chromecast Ultra and Google Home into a singular device. I now have three Chromecasts, right next to three Google Homes that we use to control them. That’s SIX devices connected to our WiFi when we could cut that down to just three. I get that Google wants to sell all sorts of…

Not a bad idea. We were “camping” in the parking lot of a kinda-shady area, though, so we didn’t want to leave the car unlocked in any way (this was a last-minute, poorly-planned trip, lol.)

It was raining pretty hard. Not really a good option. And those window vents would have worked but those also allow all sorts of bugs in.

That’s an option that also allows all sorts of bugs and mosquitos in... and also we were in a shady area of town and didnt really want to leave anything open.

I’ve slept in a wagon before. In fact, myself and two of my friends all slept together in the back of my old ‘98 Outback. To say it was cramped would be an understatement, but it was rainy outside, and our inability to open the windows to get ventilation was what made it truly horrible. I’m talking windows dripping…

As a hardcore automotive enthusiast, you have no idea how many times a day I yell people in our Facebook group to RTFM so you understand how to operate your $30,000 investment...

If you had quoted the entire sentence, instead of just the first half of it, then you wouldn’t have needed to quote it at all...

So... he made a wide right turn... Sorry, but once again this is only impressive to people who have never driven a large truck. If you’ve driven a large truck, you would realize that this is just... someone driving a large truck.

Just because Swift hires idiots to crash into things on a regular basis, doesn’t mean most…

It folds.
