Whoahh, easy there!

As I mentioned elsewhere: Bottas was ordered by Mercedes to let Ricciardo pass, and with good reason. The team knew what was coming and acted very PR-wise.

Worth mentioning is that Mercedes *INSTRUCTED* Bottas to drop back to fifth after plowing into the side of Ricciardo.

Plus, a straight 6 sounds better than a cross-plane 90 degree V8, so there's that too.

but… for the time being, I will definitely be checking Crashstappen to see what kind of tomfoolery Max is engaging in.

Sorry, but DAT SPIN!!

One slightly sobering remark: the only reason they were able to beat the 35+ year standing record is that the few F1 cars that lapped the Nordschleife were doing that demo mode, not in full-on track attack mode.

Our customer is the worlds largest supplier of valves and regulators, and we supply them. They have very specific material demands and their preferred source of material is based in... Italy.

Gazoo Racing Meisters of Nurburgring??

The original Pink Pig Porsche 917/20—the visually unappealing product of aerodynamic research that was redeemed by a cutesy pink and red diagram of pork parts overlaid on it—wasn’t very successful, crashing out of the 1971 race.

Not fully a “car” but there are several tens of thousands of fuel cell powered forklifts in operation today and that number is rapidly growing.

Tracks? ;)

Probably, yes, but that doesn’t make my point any less valid.

Jason, the Toyota Mirai would like to have a word with you, on behalf of all the hydrogen fuel cell cars...

Let’s hope the station straightens this out, as the damage done to the 964’s engine may be fatal.

That, implicitly, assumes an internal combustion engine which does not provide a truly massive amount of torque from 0 rpm and needs a gearbox with different ratios to keep the engine in the right rpm band.

Based upon the lead image, my thought was: Yes, of course you can push a cork in with a sufficiently long and thin heel.

Probably.

One more for the chorus, this one from a metallurgist:

This post really makes me wonder... Have we reached Peak Torch?
