It's now confirmed!

Noticed that.

Didn't delude myself, said the teams were not free from blame.

Running tires on the wrong side: been done before to positive results when running asymmetric tires, not surprised to see it tried here.

I would agree with that, probably more PR than F1 contract at the moment. Most potential tire suppliers seems hesitant about the limited testing time there allowed. Causing them to see suprise issues like Pirelli. But when they relax in season testing rules next year, we may see more interest from other suppliers. And…

Indeed, they were very vocal, a point to them for that. More than some would do, but less than was needed. As you can tell I fall into the camp of people criticizing them for not pushing the safety button. This hole thing comes off as an attempt to place public image above safety.

I can see that. and I can understand their position, being asked to make tire that degrade at an accelerated pace, with minimal testing. But I believe they had a responsibility to step up and tell FIA as soon as it became clear, that without these controls and these data collection procedures in place that they…

What really bothers me is that Pirelli is pointing the finger at everyone except themselves. They have a laundry list of factors that helped create the issue but their tires somehow are safe.

That's funny

BINGO! And this is why Chrysler told the NTHSA to sod off.

They did and thats the issue. Over the years the safety standards have been revised and now the NTHSA wants Jeep to update their 20 year old platforms to comply with modern safety standards.

It seems to me that in terms of actions that have happened they are both at fault. However I do not fault Kimi for the choice he made. Kimi had the line going into that corner. While there might have been room for Perez to get beside Kimi there was never any room to successfully execute a pass.

This is true,and the term is adaptive optics if people want to look it up. The Palomar Observatory in southern California(as well as other observatories) has been utilizing adaptive optics to great effect since 2005. With the latest version giving some of the sharpest images despite atmospheric distortion yet seen. 

I have never hated a commercial more than when I saw the Camry commercial listed above. The moment that moron uttered the words "It had stuff that guys like, like the rims, and the sleekness to the body" I turned the TV off, and left the room, unable to beleieve what I just saw. This guy just made me feel that the…

I've had to convince my sister, twice now, that 4WD vehicles do not stop faster than 2WD vehicles. I think she still doesn't fully believe me, I mean why wouldn't a vehicle that uses 2 more wheels stop faster, duh.

Modern drive-by-wire systems actually use the accelerator pedal to determine how much torque the driver is requesting from the powertrain. The ECU then adjusts throttle plate, injector pulse width, ignition timing, and transmission gear selection.

Yeah.... That should be 1936. A small typo in a lengthy and otherwise well written article.
