Of course it would get you into trouble in F1, it would get you into trouble in any own wheel racing series.

Aero dependent, open wheel cars having different rules regarding safe overtaking than cars with fenders! More at 11!

No it would not. That’s a completely legal pass in F1.

I know you like to rag on Formula 1 here on Jalopnik....
But, there was no contact made. So, this pass would have been perfectly fine in F1 if he was able to make the move stick.

I think you’re wrong. That pass would of been a good pass in f1 too. Now if the lead car pulled to the left [to block] while braking or the trailing car plow into the side of the leader to make the pass, yes that would be a penalty.

Diving up the inside like that is well within the rules of F1. Thats what Ricciardo was doing and Vettel got punished for blocking it.

It’s only as much of a copy as the wings are in the back and elevators are at the front. There’s a lot of differences between the Mig 144 and the J-20. Just the air intakes are completely different.

Different wing design, note how the J20 has a taper whereas the MiG has a flat trailing end.

That being said, in terms of fuselage, aerodynamics dictates the optimal shaping. You could argue that the J20 has bits of F22 and F35 in the cockpit and nacelle areas... But realistically speaking, if someone on this side of…

You can’t compare the two series in that way. It’s different with open wheeled race cars for obvious reasons.

Well that was your mistake because the headline is pure BS. This pass wouldn’t pick up a penalty in F1. He holds his line, doesn’t hit the other guy or endanger him at all.

I wonder if it has a thought-controlled weapons system.

Key features are the DSI, diverterless supersoinc intake, developed by Lockheed for the F-35 using a F-16 as a test bed. This intake has no moving parts and uses its shape to push stagnant “boundary” layer air away from the intake. First used by the F-35 it has since been used on the J-10B among others. This greatly…

So what’s a J-20...

It looks big. Like TU-28 big.

15 years of design and construction and that’s the best they can do? It just looks very plane.

Possibly to point out to people that in spite of the numerous rule changes that penalize these types of hits, you cannot effectively take them out of the game.

Thats all on Jeff George Jr. He hung his receiver out to dry on that one.

Me at the thought of Smashmouth criticizing anyone.

This seems like the natural reaction to being judged by Smash Mouth.

Not nearly as bad as that time the San Diego chargers mistook Ryan Leaf for a starting quarterback.
