Been laughing at Hamboiz online selling that.  I found the result of Hammy pushing the button to be magical.  I just watched Motogp and Fabio Q. straight up ripped off his chest protector and was riding with his leathers unzipped so I guess that is why we got F1 "magic button" action. |

So we found out this weekend that merc has the magic button. I know they can shift their brake bias on the fly. but the one button to shift it all to the front is news to me. Do the other teams have such a setup? I haven't found anything on the internets. :-)

Thank God for the magic button. I hate that Max had to crash to make the race interesting, but it sure helped Alonso's day. What a drive over the last couple of laps.

One of the mechanics when putting the engine cover back on at the end of the red flag wiped his finger on something and then shook he head, I didn't think anything of it at the time but wonder if he was seeing a leak |

Funny that they mention how bad he looked compared to Lewis, but they failed to mention that he did indeed finish the race, while Lewis did not. |

Not only is MB putting VB under the bus, they are making the bus a low rider. |

After the 1989 IMSA GTP race at Sears Point we stayed over for a test day. Juan wanted to stiffen up the roll bars so the car would be more responsive through the esses. It felt much better, he said, but it was almost a half second slower from the exit of 7 to the entry of 11. Feeling better does not necessarily transfer to faster. |

My fastest times have always come when I felt like the car was trying to kill me. Super scary yet super fast. |

The bad thing is when you get older and know your reactions can't keep up with scary, let alone super scary and super fast. |

^But, how costly is it to run meaningful simulations compared to 'real' on-track testing?
