I would kinda disagree with the thesis here. While I think the 787 is an engineering marvel and massive advancement for aviation, I think it’s nothing more than a trend of making smaller more efficient airplanes at the cost of passenger comfort and limited choice. The real plane they should be comparing here is not…

Was expecting a joke article.

I think some people miss-understand British humour. If somebody ridicules you or you sport is a very sure sign they like you or your sport.

Downforce isn’t the problem, it’s the *dirty* air that prevents closer following and therefore more passing… Firstly, do away with wind tunnels; since after engines, they are the single most costly aspect of F1. Limit every team to CFD and require F1 cars to produce “clean air” at 1-2 meters past. If necessary, the…

Neutral: What Price Should FCA Pay If They Are Found To Be Greasing Their Sales?

I buy this. This looks worse than it is. He didn’t run him into the wall and pin him there.

So, just for the folks who don’t sleep eat and breathe F1, CVC Partners has taken tens of billions of dollars out of F1 in ‘profits’ (or whatever phrase you’d use in the finance markets). This has meant the absolute collapse of several teams over the past few years as they received nothing for their efforts at the…

I see...

Well said. Even in F1, which has ridiculous amounts of data to go over every minute the car is operating, the driver must be able to understand and make use of it in concert with the engineers and mechanics. Michael Schumacher was particularly adept at analyzing telemetry data to get the most out of a car. It’s very…

I cannot imagine how appalling of a human being the average Russian hockey star is.

I retract my question! NASCAR drivers aren’t stupid, they just tend to have positively troglodytic social views.

*slow claps with tears of joy* Torch for president.

Racing ain’t exactly rocket science. All you’re doing is constantly controlling the loads imparted on a 1-ton mass moving at 200 mph, with inertial transfer against the frame defined in three axes through spring rate and shock dampeners, all to ensure that transient G-loading on the tire carcasses do not adversely…

We’ll let go of Doug one day.

I hate Puffalumps.

This surprises me non-amount. The mascot for the 2023 Torchlympics!

You get a fucking boat

This is so sad. Condolences to his family.

I think the fuel is to blame.
