Ah, the reckless abandon of youth!

This. A thousand times this.

Absolutely. Nico’s blowout remains an annoying mystery. Vettel & Ferrari just pushed their luck, and it ran out.

Considering the speeds these madmen hit at that corner, I’d like to think forcing them to comply would also mean lots of understeery crashes right after when the car gets light at the top of the hill. Charlie’s got a good head on his shoulders, I think, and probably didn’t want to have to yellow-flag every few laps.

You may be on to something there, particularly because it started fraying from the inside of the tire. Not that I know anything about the relationship between suspension geometry and downforce.

Indeed. They’re death machines. The drivers are terrible.

You’re right, it’s new, maybe better for Spa. It will be interesting to see whether they’ll retain it for the next races.

In East Africa the Hiace is everywhere - that and its Nissan equivalent. You can’t break it, it hauls 10 or so people - and their stuff - in relative comfort (well, more like 20 people in E. Africa, seriously. I’ll never forget it) and is cheap to maintain. Why don’t they make vehicles like those here in ‘Murica?

Meanwhile, Daniel Ricciardo is enjoying some chips. Sorry, crisps.

Holy crap, that thing is awesome.

Love my two - Rusty to the left & Shifty to the right.

Absolutely. If one can make a car start rolling on idle, congratulations - they have passed a major lesson on bite point.

Ah, right! The one with Wahlberg, I beleve.

I read the article but was desperate for that video, which I didn’t find. I hope they shot it; want to hear what that C63 AMG sounds like.

What in the world happened to that Prius?

I think that’s Roscoe.

I honestly did that too.

*sigh*

Indeed. Dat suspension soaks it all up in one compression - very nice.

Holy crap. How fast must they have been going to plow through the building?
