    Williams did not “endure a pointless season”, Kubica scored a point for them in Hockenheim.
    By the way, I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention McLaren being very quick at winter testing at Jerez in 2013, fooling everyone & themselves into thinking they will be the favourites for the title that season only to discover that that this speed was the result of a suspension component being incorrectly fitted on their car, which created an extremely low ride height that in turn led to the fast lap times. They reinstalled the suspension in the right order and it turned out they came up with a midfield car.

    I was in the pits at the Jacarepaguá track in Rio, 1989 for the most tragic of all pre season practice events I can think of; Philippe Streiff becoming tetraplegic from a horrible freak accident where the AGS roll bar collapsed when the car flipped over. It was a series of unfortunate accidents, beginning with an issue with the track, then a suspension failure, and an unlikely roll with the eventual collapse of the roll bar, awful medical response from the local organizers, and, finally a hasty and premature transfer of Streiff to Europe. It was, sadly, the perfect storm that victimized this wonderful guy. I always think of him with a heavy heart.

      because the first round is in Bahrain and they do not want to set up so many TV cameras for 3 days and then flying out next week for Bahrain, the reason they'd broadcast Bahrain is because that's the first race and they don't need to remove the cameras and microphones for the first race at Bahrain.

      They’ve stated the reason is because of the new regulations it is likely a lot of cars are going to not have good runs/breakdown and that’s not a good look for sponsors/potential sponsors. So they test “offscreen” and fix any reliability issues and then test again when they’ve understood the parts better

    In relation to the Alonso crash, ex-FIA F1 Doctor Gary Hartstein said at the time he felt there was more to it than met the eye. One of the official reasons for Nando being kept in hospital, besides the concussion, was for him to recover from the sedatives given to him for the flight to hospital. But Hartstein said that by definition a sedative given on that day wouldn’t require recovery the following day. He said categorically it wasn’t sedatives keeping Nando in hospital. In fact, Nando’s manager at the time, Luis Garcia Abad, posted a photo of Nando in his hospital bed a day and a half after the crash…with Nando still connected to a heart machine. For a concussion? 36 hours after the accident?! Not to mention over two of his three days in hospital were in Intensive Care. Still doesn’t sit right with me that we were given the whole story. Perhaps we’ll find out one day in Nando’s book…

    It's likely the Redbull camo livery actually aids other teams in being able to see the shape of the car (I'm not saying Redbull don't know this by the way). It creates more trackable points. If it was just swirls it might be OK, but it has a lot of text and other lines on it. It also is basically a series of stripes over the front wing that creates something like 20 or more trackable points across the top and bottom of each front wing element. I think their design is actually quite good for photogrammetry software. A matt black car might be good way confound photographers.

    • @snip3s945

      Yes, that was my thought too. I thought "Hey cool black and white livery but where exactly does it camouflage anything?" just a uni black or really dark purple would've done better. But not matte, metallic would be better. Or just use the same livery as on normal road cars. They actually have an effect!

    9:57 an unbelievable steering problem happened in NASCAR in 2002, during the pace laps of the second Talladega race. While warming up the tyres, Mark Martin's steering locked to the left, and his Ford slammed into Jimmie Johnson's Chevrolet, basically ruining Martin's chances of winning the championship. Jimmie Johnson then suffered an engine failure during the race, ending his championship fight as well. Those things, plus Sterling Marlin's injury, basically handed Tony Stewart his first NASCAR Cup Series title.

      It’s actually the opposite. Sand is highly flammable so when it enters the car and gets in the engine and mixes with fuel it increases the top speed by 15.5%. Almost like a nitro boost. This is why sand is spread on the tracks before every race
