the t wings are not a loophole, the area they occupy is explicitly legal for aero devices.
also, why the hell are aesthetics ever a consideration in F1? the whole thing should be “here’s your tires, here’s a box the car has to fit into, your engine intake is limited to xx mm^2, here are your crash standards, GO”
Fun fact: Adrian Newey is not actually bald, he shaves his head for optimum aerodynamic performance. His ears are also fully adjustable for walking, jogging or running.
it’s not a “loophole”... and they only fell off one car.
Or stuck out a couple more lean years with Ferrari. He’d be champion this year if he stayed.
Of course they can, they have some of the highest cornering speeds in F1 right now. And Alonso has been battling with drivers who have competent machinery (see torro rosso, Renault, Force India) all year, when his car runs.
There’s no reason it couldn’t, or shouldn’t. Super/hyper car tech becomes sports car tech, which then becomes passenger car tech. It’s just a matter of bringing the costs down enough to be usable in everyday cars. There are some tech dead-ends, but some elements of the hybrid tech developed for those cars should make…
Sports cars and supercars still mostly sound great; sound is a big part of the experience. The P1, the 919 and the La Ferrari are all hybrids and all are exciting and sound fantastic. Those are the sort of cars F1 should be relevant to, not Priuses.
Noise is better theatre, which is ultimately what racing is. Engineering prowess is fascinating, but unless it’s also entertaining, it doesn’t help sell the show.
And yet something like 40% of the US adult population is outright fucking stupid enough to think Trump would make any kind of a leader.
Hillary’s incident was certainly egregious
Ditto. He was working under orders. Yes, that is a shitty excuse but those giving the orders should be responsible to a greater degree. This guy get’s 5 years, his boss should get 10, his boss should get 20 and so on.
