She’s not a F1 fan. She’s a Drive to Survive fan. It’s the drama of the show. I mean, Hamilton was there too, and if you truly are a F1 you would know better who’s matters. But hey Ricc is hot and media friendly, so that must account for something. 

It takes guts, really. I mean, after such a poor showing at Haas (worse than Mick Schumacher, and he was also canned), expecting Mercedes to open up its arms. I mean, even lower ranking teams have absolutely zero to gain - money is one thing, but complicity with war money? Thoughts and prayers. 

If the strategy (?) is to bring as much attention regardless of what venue they are using, well, the joke is on them. In the week nuclear was phased out, coal is ramping up production, imaginary e-fuels are all the rage, and you are protesting Formula E because it is conveniently there? No wonder Germany is becoming…

It’s actually pretty common across Europe for charging station to be without charging cable (and therefore the user using their own). It’s good for reliability, but on some occasion a bummer (for example when you rent a PHEV, and they do not provide such cable, quite common, actually).

It’s Austrian. They use the same acronym GmbH. It is an abbreviation of the German phrase “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,” which means “company with limited liability.”

Since he left Red Bull, he’s been chasing and feeding his ego, rather than focusing on what makes him what he is, a race car driver. The results that followed show that he’s mentally not in the right place for being a top notch race driver. Doesn’t mean he’s not a high quality driver, but that he’s not focused to…

As widely reported, the offer ($350M) from Andretti wasn’t sufficient, as the Swedish owners required an additional $250M paid upfront as a guarantee for the team to survive in the next few years. The grand total of $600 was the deal breaker, not Herta not having his happy ride in FP1.

Repeat after me: petroleum doesn’t come from dinosaurs. It comes from plants and forests. I know the whole “dinosaur juice” is a compelling, yet wrong, way to describe it, but petroleum is fully vegan.

First? Tesla Model S was introduced in 2012. the BMW i3 in 2013. In those times, you could buy a Leaf for significantly less than the i3 and achieve, arguably, the same range. What I am trying to say is that I wouldn’t hype up the whole “BMW was first and best”. The reason the i3 was never successful (the i8 is not a…

The car does not have a CVT. The engine drives a generator at low speed, and there is a direct drive clutch at higher speed. Most of the time the car ia powered by the electric motor. There is a reason it feels zippy, it’s basically all-torque-now of any electric motor (with a little help at high speed from the ICE).
