If you are presently at a low speed and you'd like to be able to be at a higher speed in the least amount of time, you shift from second to first.

The 2-1 shift isn't necessarily hard because of the synchros, it's hard because the 1&2 ratios differ by a huge amount. The "blip" required to get in the neighborhood of the 1st gear synchro is 5/3 or 166% the rpms in 2nd gear.

Yes, Felipe Massa, the sad man from Williams who hadn't been having such a great season. Here he was, returning to rare form, setting quicker lap times than anyone else on the track.

Sadly, the NTHSA never signed off on that whole "convert into a speedboat" thing, so we didn't see many on our shores.
