@proesterchen That’s still far too slow. You’re talking literally decades before ICEs are replaced en-masse, and that’s under the assumption that every new car sold from today is a BEV (which it isn’t, it will be […]

@proesterchen you must live in a very wealthy country where everyone can afford new vehicles and there aren’t vast distances to travel.

Where I’m from, 4WDs and trucks with long ranges aren’t niche—but necessa […]

@proesterchen

Please take a look at the inefficiencies inherent with any process that produces “synthetic fuels”.

Yes, of course, for new vehicles. But there’s millions of vehicles on the road right now tha […]

I’ve been thinking for a while that he’s actually been a little too conservative and the limit is further away than he thinks. It’s good that he was able to push a bit harder in the race and get a bit closer to […]

@gechichan exactly! That was the first thing I thought, he actually hit the inner kerb and bought himself an extra half car-width of margin in doing so. Max gave him the room, but Lewis didn’t take it.

@theoddkiwi not to mention road-relevancy. F1 engineers turned to making electric motors smaller, lighter and more efficient has tangible benefits for manufacturers.

@rocketpanda Changing penalties based on performance is far more confusing and unfair. Literally a performance penalty.

Dammit why is that report button identical to the “Reply” button!?! Horrible UX.

Care to elaborate on the MP4/5B?

@randommallard It also feels a little bit like the hacker wasn’t sure if the hack would work.

@aapje as a programmer, it is indeed my default string to use when testing/checking something. Is this function even […]

Alonso was furious as
as… as… as WHAT?!? I NEED TO KNOW!

Where do you draw the line though? A driver could just chuck it around the outside of an unsuspecting opponent get their nose alongside, then inevitably be “run off” the track and then claim a penalty.

How far […]

Heh, I thought the same thing when they released their livery—that it was too dark for TV. But considered that maybe it had a sparkle or something which lights up in daylight; which is obviously not the case on T […]

I don’t always agree with your views, but I do on this one.

Mercedes can’t win on track. So they’re playing politics and the media much more than usual.

@lubhz yeah you can see it’s not the right red on modern TVs which have much more accurate colour reproduction.

Pretty sure Ferrari did a similar thing with the shade of their red.

Red is a particularly difficult colour to capture and reproduce, especially on the old CRT TVs.

@macleod exactly! Fine-tuned oil which allows them to run the unit harder with less risk of degradation.

I think you need to read the comments by @randommallard above.

@randommallard whoa whoa let’s not let facts get in the way of ideology!
