Focus RS with the factory-revised dampers is pretty close.

That is actually really neat. 

I’m sure the wing is useless but it does look great. 

Not to mention the inability to use brakes, stopping well short of cars at a red light and then creeping closer, little by little, or stopping in the crosswalk.

Tires would be the limiting factor. The cars would only be slightly faster than they are now if the “race” distance is the same as a modern Grand Prix.

Yeah, 10-place penalty at least would be better, or even just starting him from pit lane.

Yes I get that, but that incident would not be on par with a driver deliberately crashing into a GROUP of cars to benefit a teammate, which is why it is not a precedent.

And as expected, said morons take exception to being called what they are…

Who did Piquet drive into again? It doesn’t say…

As I suspected, several morons in the comments on other sites are crying that Mercedes planned for Bottas to take all those cars out.

You’ll catch a lot of flak for the DeLorean comment but you’re 100% right. The Mazda already looks like it can time travel.

I never owned a Saturn, but my car was hit by a Saturn. My car had $5k in damage. The Saturn?

There wasn’t enough references IMO.  Of course Japan is more than just manga, anime, and video games but still I want to see more in the closing ceremony.

There is a parking spot on the left.

Colliding at high speed with another driver is not a Schumacher thing to do.

Even Damon himself said in the pits after the race it was a racing incident and that he would have done the same thing to Michael if the roles were reversed.

I don’t know which was more cringeworthy: the Sky Sports commentators unwilling to assign blame to Lewis, or Christian Horner’s subtle insinuation that Lewis did it on purpose.

All of them except Gal and Vin, basically. Paul was also famous but moreso in the car community since he was a real gearhead. The rest never got that spark in their career a franchise this big can produce.

The weirdest example is the F&F franchise. Anyone who wasn’t already famous before joining the cast is still not that famous even though each movie earns around $1 billion.

IndyCar are notoriously terrible at marketing themselves and their drivers. Look at Josef Newgarden. He’s a champion, he’s American, and he’s handsome, but almost nobody outside IndyCar knows who he is. More people have heard of Helio and that’s because he won a dance contest.
