@thinkingshivers Open wheels also mean zero margin for error. If two cars touch at 200 mph, they can launch into the air or rip suspensions off. No bumper-to-bumper rubbing allowed. It forces drivers to place their cars with millimeter precision, making it the ultimate test of skill.
@thinkingshivers F1 is open-wheel by to honor its 1950s DNA, but it stays that way because it's the ultimate engineering test. Exposed, spinning tires are an aerodynamic nightmare. Forcing teams to master that chaotic airflow is exactly what makes F1 the pinnacle of motorsport engineering.
@whispenrae@luvkit I assume it's because the white population has dropped to barely 6% of global population and it seems any predominantly white country is dealing with mass immigration. There's few places left on earth that are white only. Canada was 95% white in the 80s, now low 60s.
Mark Webber warns Formula 1: "People turn on the TV for Max Verstappen"
๐ฃ๏ธ"[...] looking at the sport as a whole: if you have someone like him... types like Verstappen are exactly what the sport needs. We need these people. People turn on the TV for Max Verstappen, and Liberty Media knows that. The teams know that. He is important."
๐ฃ๏ธ"In short, it is very important that we keep Max in the sport, because he lifts every driver on the grid to a higher level, and that is what Formula 1 is all about. You need to be constantly pushed."
@biiish0P@krassenstein Is the Rivian bulletproof? How about the safety of rear occupants in crash testing?
Sacrifice your children's safety over political differences? Fair expectation, I suppose.
@WAKINGAMERICA13@elonmusk Electricity is a lot easier to create than gasoline, a few thousand dollars and you don't need to rely on the governments energy.
@Charwechedu@verstappenews Why would anyone come to the highest level of racing and be happy about having to lift throttle where they typically are pushing it to the limit of physics, otherwise having the car cut power in half on the next straight? Like.. why take away the drivers ability to be on edge?
@GenoneMartian@michaelnicollsx@Starlink The mini I believe has built-in, but I would still suggest getting a proper dedicated router.. I mentioned a few brands who have very good hardware. I don't expect the integrated units to have equal performance to high end routers. Good units are fairly low cost.
