spec chassis, but the powertrain (motors and gearbox), is open for development. Several teams make their own, and others buy them from those teams that design and make their own.

To me, the difference between Stroll and Verstappen’s crashes is that Stroll would stick his car somewhere it shouldn’t be and get hit, while Verstappen has just been unlucky like in Austria.

he got hit in Spain, his engine blew in Canada and Azerbaijan, and he got hit again in Austria. What part of that is his fault?

Don’t forget about Sainz. The Toro Rosso drivers in general seem to have forgotten how to drive recently

He seems not to understand that a rear wheel drive car with 450 horsepower will wear its rear tires relatively quickly. Tires are not necessarily going to last for 8 months of daily driving.

She does a really good job at making me feel inadequate as a racer, as I’ve been racing karts for two years now and she is a month younger than me and is in F4. Wish I had started sooner...

I don’t own shirts of manufacturers like these, but I do have a lot of Formula 1 team shirts which are more acceptable to wear as they are showing support for someone in a competition, similar to wearing a football or soccer jersey.

Electrical components don’t like to be hot. It’s hotter than usual, thus all the failures from the LMP1 class.

Every driver has to get a salary(AFAIK) so that they can be considered employees or something. Pay drivers are still paid by their team, but they bring in far more money than they earn. Most pay drivers are decent, but Stroll is Maldonado Jr without the speed. As someone said: Palmer is 0.3 seconds off one of the most…

The problem with this year’s engine is that they completely scrapped the old one. With the removal of the token system, they were allowed to develop a totally new architecture that copies what Mercedes has, but in doing so they went back to the level of teams in 2014 with the edition of trying to run it as hard as…

My best experience would be talking to some brits while in Geneva, all of us just admiring a Koenigsegg Agera RS and an SV and talking about our shared passion for cars. It was my first real experience with people from the car community, and it was awesome to discuss a shared passion with very different people.

I think the Mclaren rep in Geneva told me the light is only on when stopped, but I might be remembering wrong. Definitely no color options though, you can only have the red light.

Not sure about a 12c, but it is easier to ingress/egress than a P1, and the P1 has a very similar sill to a 12c. Still not very easy, as the sill is pretty wide and there is only a small area to thread your legs through.

Also Jim Glickenhaus’s road registered actual GT3 car which can do about a 6:20 on the nurburgrin.

The most obvious piece of bullshit in Nurburgring times is people claiming they are the fastest when they aren’t. Not by saying their time is quicker than something else, but just not saying the other car did a time. Ex. Mercedes about the AMG GT-R as quoted by Top Gear: “It’s the fastest ever rear wheel drive road…

From what I know, there were only around 5 seconds between the car spinning and the crash, which explains the lack of flags.

from what I’ve read from people who were there, the car he hit spun onto the grass due to rain, and ended up back on the track where he did. There was maybe 5 seconds from him starting to spin to the crash happening, which is less time than marshals even in F1 could have yellow flags out, or at least for them to be…

F1 cars are built to a higher safety standard because the speeds are higher, but F4 cars are also much smaller which is the main reason for his injuries. As the nose is shorter, there was less car between his legs and the car in front.

In this case it is almost certainly that Billy wants to race, and the family supports him in that, and not the parents pushing him to do this.

MotoGP might have some of the most dangerous two-wheel racing, but road racing on superbikes is way more dangerous and insane. 200 mph on a track with lots of tarmac runoff is no comparison to 200 mph on tight, narrow public roads.
