optical illusions are a bitch. that is a section of a circle with the centerpoint at the wiper arm pivot point.  windshield shape is a rough approximation but overall it is more accurate than the stupidity in the article.

and shooting brake. and curate.  fuck I hate hipsters.

wow, the stupidity is astounding. he went to the back of the grid and got a new engine because they knew he wouldn’t finish the race with the old engine. he exceeded his allotment because Hamilton punted him into a wall at 200MPH and the rules don’t make a distinction between crash damage and unreliability/rule…

I agree it was within the letter of the rules, but certainly not the intent. by abusing the intent, Merc won at least 2 races it would otherwise have lost or at a minimum not been dominant in.  I assume RB hadn’t spent the money to develop “fuck it mode” for their engines that Merc obviously did when they realized…

looked like 2 blades to me, one mid arm, one at the end.

Modern F1 cars carry in the neighborhood of 150kg of ballast out of 740kg total weight in order to get the CG and moment arms just right.  it is so critical that Mazespin’s dad paid several hundred thou to get him a 4kg lighter chassis so he could match Schumi Jr’s weight distribution.

What are you talking about? Never said I'm anti F1, what i am against is a stupid rule that allowed (in this case) Mercedes to abuse the intent of the rule and gain an advantage.  The rule should have been revised to escalating penalties after 2019 or so when all the manufacturers had reliability under control. …

um, your approximation of the swept area seems approximately total garbage

you get that it pivots around the axis of the lower left corner and the apparent narrowness of the windshield in the photo you chose is distorted perspective?

it would look a lot more like this:

the red flag rules are shit. Hamilton won 2 races he should have lost due to being able to change tires on a red flag.

red flag rules should mean “no touching the damn car, if you want to change tires or repair or adjust anything, you go to the back of the grid.”

the stewards were shit several times during the season,…

I like restomods, because they are taking something old and cool and improving it (although anything over 18" wheels generally looks dumb on a ‘60s muscle car).

this is just new, expensive, looks like a kit kar and deliberately obsolete.

how was the volcano?

I do not find anything at all attractive about these cars.

also, these are just the ones that have been sitting in the back of the dealer’s warehouse unsold due to lack of interest.  why would I want an obsolete version of a deliberately obsolete (and unattractive) car?  if I want a car made the old fashioned way, I’ll…

E series? really? what was this, the baller on a budget benz limo?

total crack pipe (in fact, I bet you would find a fair amount of residue, and maybe a pipe or two between the seat cushions).

or maybe he’s a bird....

I do not understand why Lewis wasn’t required to give the place back on that first lap pass. every single other incident like that all season (and several seasons prior) the guy who cut the chicane had to give the place back.

lot of seeming shenanigans this season, from the silverstone punt going basically unpunished,…

source?  I would actually like to see the factual basis for your assertion.

source other than “cops say so”?  because ACAB

if the intent is to arrest the driver/occupants, at some point you have to stop the car. a helicopter is not always available to allow the pursuing cop cars to back off, nor are there 400 cop cars to seal off an area.

in some dismal dystopia all cars will have invulnerable kill switches that the cops can flip at any…

re paragraph 2: so change the stupid law

re paragraph 1: counterpoint: most of the bullshit stops are fishing expeditions so that when they pull the car over, they can assert “I Smell Pot” and search the car.  this is what is known as pretexting and is explicitly illegal everywhere, but you’ll never see a cop lose so…

dash cams and body cams should be mandatory on all cops and cop cars.
if “it was turned off” that is prima facie evidence that the cop is doing dirty and should be grounds for termination and prosecution.  

if it is a stolen plate, the receiver of the ticket can fight the ticket. no plate is legal in some states (see…
