how can ascari have earned 100% of possible points if he only won 75% of the races?  didn’t the other 2 races count for points?

it was nice to see him have a good weekend overall though.

as a whole that race was one of the best in recent memory. strategy gambles early, drivers way out of position at the start due to wet quali and penalties, the last 10 laps after the late safety car...

clearly the new cars are working, because Sainz was able to stay within .5 second for 10 laps. with the old cars his…

No. even the poor teams have insane amounts of money. even the “poorest” team in F1's annual budget is within 10% of the budget cap (which excludes things like engines, executive compensation, top 5 engineering salaries and driver salaries)

Lewis Hamilton, a 7 time world champion makes less than any of the top 7 footbal…

Darwin FTW

Agreed 

wrong.

yes it would. and that is the penalty for getting your design wrong. suck it up buttercup.

the F1 engineers are willing to kill their drivers for .1 of a second lap time, much less .5 sec.  raise the ride height, stalling goes away.  your car goes slower, but your driver isn’t suffering from CTE or a broken back.

you mean the wing bend rules that only got changed after merc bitched? or the safety cars that didn’t happen earlier in the season because merc bitched, or how hamilton got away with attempted murder and still won the race while verstappen got and engine penalty for the engine destroyed in the wreck?

trivial problem to solve. raise the ride height until it stops. then redesign your car.

Max had the pace and was probably going to win regardless, but LeClerc probably could have held second if his engine didn't grenade 

if you are too dense to realize that a _large_ and influential wing of the GOP wants _exactly_ Gilead, then you are not paying attention.

a _really_ good solar panel gets you in the neighborhood 250-300 w/m^2. a typical commercial solar panel is more in the 150 range. so _at best_ this puppy gets 1500w and more likely somewhere in the 1000w range.

1kw/h peak charging, in optimum conditions, in death valley midsummer probably gets you 15kw/h a day, call…

because they were riding the gravy train. now that they are cut off from the ca$h they are looking for a fat payday.

OTOH, Miller is clearly a bit off their(is that the correct phrasing?) nut and has been circling the drain for a while now, so he may have done all the things they claim, but waiting until now to try to…

the goal for any engine manyfacturer would be to make that max HP across the widest possible rev range.  design the engine to produce well above that number from 2000-7000 RPM and let the electronics artificially limit it to the max.

That is the free air flat land human powered record. Fully enclosed recumbent streamliner IIRC.

Definitely fast for an amateur, not unusual for a pro rider.

gravity assist to 65 ain’t all that fast. how does 183 on salt sound?

world record is held by a woman slipstreaming at bonneville.

yes

so that brown car in the video is, according to official jalopnik stupidity, mid engined, because the engine is entirely behind the front axle.

by the way, that means the model T and Model A were also mid engined.
