But what WAS the point? How else are you supposed to turn a race car around in the width of the track? This happens in every race where there’s a spin. I was just confused by the news-worthiness of it, that’s all.

Not sure I’d call going from 9th place down to 2nd-to-last a recovery... But it was a cute little spin.

I thought the exact same thing. Mmmmmmm. Both are so tasty.

And don’t you stick that knife in your leg!

I was standing right at the finish line. What a wild finish.

Exposed fasteners are there to make it easier to change out a ruined fender. You know, from that idiot who dive-bombed you in turn 3, totally ruining your race... Race cars care not about aesthetics.I know these likely won’t be used as race cars, but that’s the reason. I love them.

And this car drives extremely well. Tons of fun.

Oh my god, please find this and link it. I need this. Sounds like the best thing ever.

Well, yeah clearly. But it was a joke that was simply lost on this thread. No need to lynch the guy for it. Ah well.

Kids plug their ears when they throw a fit. At least one person gets it. Carry on Justin.

He doesn’t know shit cause he used an old picture? Come on. For all of you commenting above, I’m going to hazard a guess and say Justin used that particular picture because he was plugging his ears, something kids do when they throw a hissy fit as he put it. It makes sense if you think about it for even a little bit.…

Ugh, yes.

That’s Auto-Hold, not Park. it means that as soon as you put your foot on the gas the car starts moving again. It just acts like you are holding your foot on the brake pedal so you don’t have to the whole time you are stopped at a light.

If by helped us out you mean built the car. You’re welcome, by the way.

Stef I think you mean “CA-NA-DA! CA-NA-DA!” ;)

Driven this and the Prius back-to-back and they are world apart. The IONIQ Hybrid is actually very fun to drive and makes a super satisfying induction noise in Sport mode. Have had a few drives in the IONIQ EV too and it’s a great car (especially compared to the Leaf. *shudders).

“Take it off any sweet jumps?”

I understand you are showing all of these pictures and whatnot from yesterday to everyone, but what you need to understand and accept as well is that there are more things happening here than HAM just pushing ROS off the course. Cold tires, recovering from an impact (that ROS caused, clearly shown in the video),…

If you replay the point of contact in the video a bunch of times you can see the contact was made as Hamilton was at the apex of T1. Nico turned into him and bounced out wide. Also Lewis’ car jumps around a bit right before the apex which supports what he mentioned post-race about picking up some understeer. I’m not…

In the first turn between teammates? Was never going to be a penalty. Nico should have known what he’d gotten himself into.
