I liked that it shined a light on the “the floor is lava” game F1 has had to play where they make pretend that the track limits are smaller than what they actually are.

What you describe already exists and is called the TransAm series.

That after 3 or 4 years of development, a driver can be turned into one that can win races. Or are we going to forget that there were a number of years that Ericsson was far from an Indycar podium. Gotta […]

If the teams and F1 were going to reject any new team anyway, why did they bother instituting the £200 million dilution fee? Did the just expect that to dissuade anyone from even trying? They must have been […]

I don’t know about the others but in Palou’s case, Norris ran laps on the softs where Palou didn’t. Both being on the mediums, Palou was 0.4 seconds behind Norris.

By the standard you have just established, Indycar was the pinnacle of world racing for the 3-4 years prior when Ericsson was near the bottom.

What I ask you is more likely: ~24 drivers becoming garbage or 1 […]

Absolutely insane speeds.

Farewell LONG PODS. You were not long for this world.

I am looking forward to Aston Martin’s innovative new exhaust system which is being dubbed “the Krack pipe”

Sorry double post

There will be a lever on ovals that the driver can use to engage energy harvesting.

Last year’s Mercedes isn’t legal to drive at this point.

@joeypropane the “off-peack” time for electricity use when electricity is cheaper is traditionally during the night. Do you think this will reverse when you now have a few million EVs plugged in and charging?

@drmouse understandable but that was not the issue I was addressing. A hybrid that scarcely uses its ICE over the course of a common short drive doesn’t make much of a difference on the size of the engine except […]

How is that different you ask? The resource difference in making a 1 L engine vs a 3 or 4 or 5L engine is not significant and for an EV, the capability of traveling 50km vs 200 vs 500 is a comparatively massive […]

One issue being overlooked is how efficiently the supply of lithium is being used. Take for example your 400-500km range EV has a battery that could supply 10 hybrid cars. 10 cars using their battery on the short […]

Political and cringe? Making double use of mandatory training flight hours for entertainment is efficiency, something F1 is eager to promote.

Penske is about to start the Porsche LMDh factory team so if there would need to be a compelling reason to stay at 4 IndyCar entries for them.
