I thought since when does Renault make a truck?

I’m really wondering how many Europeans will actually be attending Vegas F1. 5% of the total? That really justifies a surcharge for everyone.

Bioplastic is a horrible word, which can mean 2 things being bio-based or biodegradable. Bio-based only means that it’s made from a biological feedstock (e.g. sugarcane -> ethanol -> ethene -> polyethylene) which can make the same plastic as regular oil based.

A bag of birdseed? Is there any significance to that? (I’m a white European guy, I really have no idea)

This graph is road tax in the Netherlands: orange is gasoline, blue is for diesel powered cars. On the x- axis is is the weight of the vehicle in kilos (double for pounds), y axis is the amount of road tax per year (in euro’s, but that’s pretty much the same in dollars at the moment). every 100 pounds in weight extra i…

Loophole? It says so in the rules, everybody just misinterpreted them.

When I was young you had premix coming from the dedicated moped dispenser, iirc 1:50 oil:gas mixture. And sometimes there was a manual dispenser, first tap in oil in a large glass cylinder then the amount of gas. (the older mopeds ran on stuff with more oil so you needed a different ratio than the premix).

A spot open at Haas? Can we then please team up Ricciardo and Guenther Steiner? That would result in probably some of the best banter in F1

“the state of Lower Saxony, which includes cities such as Bremen and Hanover”

You sure about the sequence of acid and base bath? First base then neutralize with the acid is how I was thought it, as the base actually can deprotonate the glass.

In The Netherlands they won’t go faster than 25 to 30 km/h (15-18 mph) I’m suprised they can go faster. 

Which proves they are shitty bikes (with a nice design), a bike model needs to be available in at least 3 sizes. Get a Gazelle, that’s a proper Dutch bike.

Why is this big for Mexico? It’s not that he hasn’t won a race before.

I don’t think it was power, I understood Russel and Hamilton were actually doing pretty similar lap times. Hamilton was just stuck a lot further in the back. Russel had a great start, and luck on his side to end up 6th after the 3rd corner (coming from 11th).

with Florida Man/Woman/Wombat driving to through the local WalMart.

bit semantic, but less downforce on the straights is better downforce. Is doesn’t say more or less, just better.

I’m holding my judgement till the pre-race interviews of Melbourne, it’s not an urgent issue anymore. They could have a drivers meeting there again.

Not very helpful, but i learned a lot from a dutch program around the actual race. Lots of meaningless banter but also technical info and explanations from old drivers. There must be something like that in english.

I’m very interested in what some of the drivers are going to say when everyone of the teams is out of that country.

No one will send in the police to shoot them for not driving.
