Something may be fully within the rules but still be dirty/unsportsmanlike.

What if Mercedes wanted it to be a fair and clean fight for the title? Mercedes gets tainted if one of their own drivers is acting unsportsmanlike in the eyes of the public (and the sponsors!).

If that pass was against the rules, he’d be under investigation by the stewards. But he isn’t, so it wasn’t.

Torch, Torch, you disappoint me.

We just assimilate quite a lot of Enlish words into our own language. The F-bomb and the S-bomb just got added to our Profanity Weapons Cache™.

The little bit more to it is that he deliberately locked all four wheels to stop the car yawing (rotating). Then comes the critical moment of releasing the brakes. He timed that exactly right.

A wet track is a real talent filter. Heat management for tires becomes much more important. Judging and selecting alternative racing lines become much more important.

One little point of contention: He’s not suddenly looking like one of the best drivers in ages.

That commentary was almost as amazing as the save itself.

Toyota and turbos. You know that “this gunn be good”!

But, does that mean that the GOP can get away scot-free? After all, they set things in motion that led to Trump.

I can’t properly clean and wax the underside of my car. On the other hand, the local car wash nearby can.

Explain this to a non-american, please. The joke is completely lost on me.

So, some Citroen C5 and C5 Tourer then?

Two-liter turbocharged engines producing 600 horsepower and 650 ft-lbs of torque certainly help make the cars ridiculously quick, but some other key ingredients including all-wheel-drive, a trick limited-slip differential and series-specific tires also play a role.

Especially cool is that each quarter mile run only cost the Concept one 1.96 kWh of power

I realise that the difference in time zones (posting at 05:00 am) isn’t exactly keeping you sharp, but “halting to a stop” Stef?

I just have to ask...
