      Sometimes I can't believe the split turbo setup wasn't. Because we will be entering the split turbo era (I think). Red bull has already made the jump somehow amidst the loss of an engine manufacturer. Both red bull and Mercedes are running other methods to make the air denser as well, giving each a boost in power beyond other teams' limits.
      I would be willing to bet we begin to see more as well seeing as it hasn't been banned. I also find it Quite genius, pulling out more HP where none previously existed.

Many times they'd want to use the dual pedal brake to shift the weight of the car to make up for a mistake, or to slowly increase the proportion of brakes to the front as speed decreases, etc.

      Mika Häkkinen once drove a 1930s Mercedes Grand Prix racing car; he then asked a veteran who drove it in that period (I don't remember the name, we are talking about Rosemeyer, Caracciola and their contemporaries) if they were allowed the last shot and cigarette before driving them. He was answered the last shot maybe, the last cig' no, unless you were at least 20 mts. away from the starting grid because anywhere closer, and everything would have exploded...

    • @emilchandran546

      growlingbehemoth pretty much every system which could conceivably get out of hand will have a kill switch.
      Plumbing, electrical, production lines, computers programmes. You name if you can lose control of it, there will be a kill switch.
      Is a home unsafe because it has circuit breakers? Is it unsafe if it can be disconnected from the water mains? No. It just means if an appliance shorts, or a pipe is broken, there is a way to stop it before a catastrophe.
      Similarly, these cars are very complex and have multiple failsafes. You can always pull the clutch and brake, but what if you’ve lost your clutch. That’s alright you can just shift put it in neutral, nope, something is very wrong. Well nothing beats a kill switch. Incorruptible, easy to engineer to be robust and reliable. Simple, effective, safety.
      Having a kill switch is not an indication that something is unsafe or dangerous. It would be much more concerning if it didn’t have one.

    • @Michael_Lorenson

    I was watching the F1 back catalog from 1981 recently, and Murray Walker was almost gleeful in pointing out how at the end of a race, the Renaults sat quite noticeably higher than during the race, and Renault had apparently told him about the lever in the cockpit that did this, and the fact that it helped them get around the regulations. It was an obvious cheat, and they were also obviously proud of it, and not at all trying to hide it.

    The reason for a the Ferrari 640’s reliability issues was down to the fundamental design of the engine. The engineers decided to use five main bearings for the crank, rather than six. This left the v12 with an incurable harmonic vibration that would shake the drive belt off the alternator, and hence losing power to the electrics, and therefore the electronic gearbox wouldn’t select gears!

      @@ma61king could be because when they’re driven off the gearbox the alternator doesn’t run when the car is stationary. Also packaging, weight distribution and aerodynamics would be a consideration. John Barnard designed the 640 so that the air passing through the radiator would exit at the rear past the gearbox, because exiting the air sooner disrupts the air flow to the rear wing.

Thirty years later Sebastian told us: "I had to start my car like a computer. It's very complicated." And Nico Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future, concerning technical program, errrm, during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more comunication with your engineers."

      Such is the purpose of all governmental bodies: to hold back the forward progress of innovators to make sure the established vested interest, who bribe them the most, have monopolistic advantage. The purpose of politics is nothing more than to enrich oneself through extortion and threat of violence if you refuse to acquiesce to thuggery. The art of politics is to deceive the gullible into thinking you have their interests in mind and, by taking on responsibilities that only the individual can smartly administer, pretend to provide "services". All of which have been conclusively shown throughout economic history to be run FAR better by the people directly, without the need for an extortionist intermediary.

    Back in the days of steam gauges, driver's would rotate gauges like oil pressure, oil temperature, coolant temperature so that when they were "in the green", they pointed straight up. That way it was easy to spot something that wasn't right like too hot, low pressure, etc.

    Very interesting. Also it is important to note that as of the past years, the steering complex is customized for each driver within a team, and every aspect may be different for each of the two drivers, beginning with the shape and structure of the "wheel" itself, formed exactly for a driver's hands, and arms, and the layout of buttons and switches may vary significantly from driver to driver. So, Hamilton's wheel is very different from Bottas' wheel.
