Does anyone know what weight class Slaven falls into?
Also, quick question: does a black belt count regardless of your weight category, or is it specific to one? 😛 (Sorry if that sounds like a totally rookie question)
Haha, honestly? I'm just sitting here hoping we get hit by a massive downpour right before lights out. 😬 I hope Michael Schumacher just tears them all apart with that aggressive ultra-setup and his absolute killer driving style. 😁 (except for Red Bull) 😬)
Alright, let's get serious for a second. What do you guys actually think about Red Bull's performance when they're dealing with a heavy Rain Shower?
I don't even get it. What exactly are they locking in during Q3 setup that they aren't allowed to touch during the race? Is that how it works?
By the way, a wet setup is basically just wet tires and everything else stays pretty much the same as a dry setup... maybe a bit more downforce, but that's about it. So, it’s not like the wet setup was holding Schumi back—he was just slow. Honestly, a different setup might cost him maybe 100 or 200 thousandths of a second at most, but he was trailing by over a full second.
Rosberg just outpaced both McLaren and Ferrari, which proves Mercedes actually has the pace! Now the real question is: where on earth is Schumacher? He’s stuck in 9th. 🙄 As far as I can tell, he was the kind of driver who could effortlessly shave a full second off his teammate's lap time. That’s why Schumi was "the real deal." If he were behind the wheel today, he’d probably be leading the pack, maybe half a second to a full second faster than Rosberg. Time hasn't caught up to him yet; he still has that "edge." 😬 I’ve always been a fan because he had that gritty, blunt attitude—he didn't sugarcoat anything, and on the track? Don't even get me started. But that spark seems gone. After seeing those practice times, where Ferrari and McLaren looked decent while Red Bull Racing struggled with their suspension, I really thought they’d break into the top two. Honestly, I think Schumi just needs that classic Ferrari magic again. 😁
mistybear87, we aren't talking about 2 or 3 tons of pressure here. We’re looking at ultimate tensile strength. I don't know the exact figure for that coupling, but you’d measure it in MPa—basically Newtons per square millimeter. Look, a Newton is just a unit of force; you take mass and multiply it by gravity to get force. You can apply that logic to any mass and acceleration to find force, then divide that by the surface area to get stress, or what people call pressure. The math gets a bit more technical than that, but I highly doubt we're dealing with 2 or 3 tons per square millimeter. In American engineering, $mm^2$ is the standard unit for surface area under load. I'm guessing the number is lower, or maybe you meant 2 or 3 tons across the entire surface? If it's the latter, then sure, 😁 But let's not get bogged down in the weeds. Let's leave that to the engineers over at the Red Bull Racing team. 😬
Buemiev's front suspension just completely disintegrated! (YouTube link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaQwWG0yBZM
I'm not entirely sure what happened, but my guess is the suspension components and bearings were made from material that was way too brittle. It lacked toughness, so when those impact forces hit, it basically shattered like glass. Think about it—glass is incredibly hard, but it's super brittle; you drop it on the floor and it just explodes.
I’m not sure if this is actually legit, but every single racing news site out there is buzzing with rumors about the Corvette team making a comeback to this octane-fueled circus—which, let’s be honest, is exactly what it’s become lately... So, does anyone actually have the inside scoop? Is this confirmed, or is it just more baseless tabloid trash?
I doubt Toyota is actually going anywhere. They’ve got way too much cash sitting on the sidelines to just walk away from NASCAR. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up buying out Ford instead...
