Ah, I see your point. I was thinking the other way around. The big (high) part of the mirror for rear view, the smaller (thinner) protrusion is towards the steering wheel.

In the first, fourth and fifth picture you can see the narrow extension to the bulge protrude on the driver’s side. Please note that on the first shot you look into the mirror while the other two shots are outside, looking in, from head on.

I like your reasoning, even though it’s flawed. If I look at this correctly, the bulge is on the driver’s side. It’s the side where, from the driver’s side you see... yourself.

Vettel kept track of the tire degradation, as all drivers do, and concluded he wouldn’t have been able to compete for P1 in the closing stages of the race. That’s what prompted the additional pit stop.

Very good, but fully correct. The “o” in Dutch doesn’t have the “ahh” sound. Take the sound from “DONning your race suit” and lengthen the last bit. So: Don-kher-vhoort.

Honest journalism-in-general question:

If you ask me, this only goes as deep as to what lead directly to a death: a driver suddenly swerving to the left into oncoming trafic, in a car with a sham for a roll cage and unsufficient driver restraint that caused him to be ejected.

Yes and no.

Young in terms of years: Vettel got his first championship at the age of 23. Max is 20.

Now playing

Stepping up to the plate, because, yes, Patriotic Duty and all that.

No nonono, it’s just that, ah, those engines are redundant, they are not all running! It’s not a ‘shop, honest!

Two things David:

A metric horsepower is defined as lifting 75 kg up 1 meter in 1 second.

I am not in a position to, you know, actually examine the now empty bottle in question, but it appears to be just gold and silver (and a bit of leather band) and maybe some tiny diamonds.

US$ 1,300,000 gets you about 30 kilo. At 19.2 kg/liter density for gold, that’s 1.5 liter. So, even if that bottle were solid gold, assuming typical 0.7 liter capacity, it would cover only half of the 1.3 mil.

Speaking of photos, of course this one of mine is worth millions!

Welp, it’s what the article said, even though I sorta knew it didn’t make sense.
