First time I’ve ever heard someone say anything negative about Vettel from a likability perspective. Granted, I’m a new fan (2018 was my first full season), but from what I’ve seen:

Pretty sure this is actually what happened:
In the pre-aero days, they were definitely a lot closer, such as in the 50s, 60s, and much of the 70's. In many cases, teams and drivers competed in both series, often flying back and forth across the “pond” to compete in one race after another. But from the 80's on, F1 has moved further away from Indy as aero became…
Indycar has much narrower front ( and rear, actually ) tires due to the lack of power steering. I’m not sure how the compounds line up, but just in terms of contact patch, F1's is much larger and they would have far more grip as a result even if the compounds were the same.
As long as you can’t see the modifications nobody can say they exist.
The Dodge Caliber was like throwing up in your own mouth, as a car.
NPR interviewed the spokesperson for one of the US’s main airline pilot unions last week.
According to him, all of the 737 Max 8 pilots in the union he represents were trained on MCAS system after the Lion Air crash. Before that crash, Boeing didn’t really tell anyone about the system’s existence.
Note: The MCAS…
This could be correct in other countries, but the information from Boeing and the FAA in the US was sufficient after Flight 601. An additional air worthiness directive after the Lions Air incident that added additional training for U.S. pilots. However, it’s important to remember that airlines are built to the specs…
I appreciate the F1 for what it is, but there are many other cars I’d rather look at in my dream garage.
Apparently AA and Southwest demanded this, so paid extra to get it.
I read somewhere that both the Lion and Ethiopia Plane were not equipped with a readout or warning function if the two sensors were out of sync / showing differing values. Apparently the planes for the domestic Airlines do have that indicator.
This is the part which grates on me most.Not informing the pilot that software is taking over is incredibly bad design.
This is all on boeing.
Naw man. This is just business as usual in America. Trump is just the representation of business as usual in America.
Boeing must have given the job to an intern accountant.
You are spot on. Flight control system design almost always has cross channel communication with independent sources of data providing input. My only conclusion is that they considered this system secondary during certification and not essential to airworthiness. They made some poor assumptions on its implementation…
Boeing must have given the job to an intern.
Using input from one sensor is a big Boeing screwup. Having more than one sensor is industry standard and not evidence that “Boeing knew the design was potentially faulty”. Ideally you want at least 3 sensors-if you have 2 sensors and one is giving faulty data the computer has no way of knowing which is true and which…
Here is a compromise: reverse the coverage entirely. Take all the engineering details and r&d coverage, and televise that. Make it the main event. Have it narrated by, like, David Attenborough.
Then, when the races happen, post the results to the same dorky message boards where we have to go to get juicy facts and…
My oldest daughter got an inflatable penguin toy when she was around 1, she’s 10 now. Said toy has been in sitting on a shelf in a storage room for the past 2 years. A couple weeks ago, in the middle of the night, said toy started playing it’s music on it’s on. And the batteries are mostly dead, so it was that too…
Yu should read his daughters biography. You will quickly dislike the fellow.
