In supplement:

Ahh Kimi! I never really was a fan, but neither did I dislike you.

This has a bit of an Absolute Drift vibe to it as well: isometric, stripped down to basic mechanics. A good thing!

So, on the one hand we have a few race commentators/sports journalists/writers, (THE RACE) and on the other, we have a professional race car driver and race car driving instructor (Driver61).

Oh come on! Yes, the kid was practically an unguided projectile up to and including the Monaco 2018 Grand Prix. It was embarrasing to watch.

The only problem with that is that Verstappen’s racing line left more than a car’s width open towards the apex. Had Hamilton not overcooked it and understeered wide, there would have been no contact and Ham would likely have made the pass.

Check out this analysis and then think again.

Making mistakes under pressure doesn’t have to be the same as downright stupidity. But, OK, I see your point too.

Stupidity? No son, you don’t get to be 7 time world champion and be stupid at the same time.

Yes, initially, Damon Hill deliberately avoided becoming involved in the outcry at the time, he played it down. However, in later years he explicitly accused Schumacher of deliberately driving into him.

😮😮😮🤐 Yes, you’re absolutely correct. Brain fart on my part!

Well, at least we have this small consolation: No English F1 fan can ever say again that Damon Hill was robbed of the 1994 F1 Championship.

Oh dear gods! I hope that Donkervoort is listening and ears perk up! I mean, they started out by building Lotus-7 replicas, and that brought the world the Donkervoort D8-GTO series: 700 kg and 380-400 hp.

Look, ANY high-revving ITB’ed line-4 can sound like the Devil in a very pissed-off mood! It’s a sound I just love and adore.

Well, when loaded with solid propellant, you’d be standing next to 500 metric ton of, well, slow burning high explosives. 1.1 million pound per single solid rocket booster. And once that lights, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can turn those Roman candles off.

Also: the original design brief for all Space Shuttle components was “above freezing” for the thermal operating window during launch. NASA was asking for something from Morten Thiokol that arguably wasn’t part of the original design requirements.

There was so much wrong there, but that’s all hind sight.

It’s highly possible that those O-rings were built using the religious equivalent of slave labor.

I always have to mute those alternative Hitler Rant versions, since I can’t both listen to German (and translate that in my mind on the fly) and read something entirely different in English (which I’m proficient enough in that it doesn’t take translation in thought).

Once it caught on, some F1 cars with active suspension had a special gravel trap button. It was kinda hilarious to see an F1 car, once on the pebble-y stuff, raise itself to full suspension height in order to try to clear the trap.
