In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

What anti-poaching laws? At most this would violate non-compete clauses that may exist, but those generally aren't enforceable anyways.

That's a Formula 1 VIP lanyard. Not a harness.

Why not both?

Guns are a fact of life in the US. Kids will be exposed to them. For every child killed in a mass shooting there are many more accidentally killed due to unsafe handling.

Ignoring this fact is the gun equivalent of "just say no."

It will bee interesting to how they work around the downforce loss due to the floor being so much smaller.

That article doesn't make a fair comparison.

It compares murders (intentional, not legally justified killings) in the UK, to homicides (any and all killings) in the US.

I don't know, I'm reserving judgment until we actually see a race there.

The paint scheme? Why?

If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $1.1 trillion, that's the bank's problem.

The piped link doesn't work for me either.

Interesting video, but it doesn't really explain how the planks are measured though. Is the FIA using a micrometer? CMM? Laser?

I don't see why removing the planks for measurement is such a problem either. The teams will be removing and replacing the planks whether or not they get measured.

I know some of the tests are hard to perform, and not practical to do on every car. But I can't imagine how some tests, especially plank checks, aren't feasible to perform on every car.

I find it odd that every car isn't checked after the race for things like this.

Every car is checked for weight and fuel, right? Why not check everyone for other easy to measure criteria?

What, you didn't like this beauty?

That's actually a lot closer than I would have expected. How do the number of dnf's compare?

Unfortunately since these are single pane windows most of the thermal performance issues will be due to the glass. Sealing this gap will help some, but it will be just a drop in the bucket.

Replacing the windows with insulated glass (two pane) windows is ideal. However that will be expensive.

The easiest/cheapest option will be the temporary cling-film type kits you can buy--you won't be able to operate the windows, but that probably won't be an issue in the winter. Properly sized/installed storm windows will help some too, and be significantly cheaper than new windows.

It's a bit hard to tell in the pictures: is this a dual pane vinyl sliding window?

If it's single pane (or single pane with a storm window) there isn't a ton you can do. Most of the sound (and cold) will be coming though the glass. Anything you add will have a marginal improvement.

Assuming this is dual pane, there probably aren't many place you'd be able to add weatherstrip that don't already have some. So replacing any crushed/worn weatherstrip is one of the best things you could do.

Have you pinpointed exactly where drafts are coming through? You can use a candle/lighter to see where air is intruding. Oftentimes drafts are due to poor installation, and not necessarily the window construction.

Is this picture from the exterior? I'm guessing this is a fixed vinyl (as opposed to wood) window?

If it's the exterior, that gap might be for water drainage. If it's the interior it might be for equalizing interior and exterior pressure. I'm doubtful either is the case though.

Filling the gap is likely okay.

I think you're right, and that's how it should be. But there is so much incentive to put other drivers in the position of choosing to crash or yield.

I'd argue Lewis yielding to Max early in the season is a big reason he lost the 2021 championship.

He showed exactly why he should be preffered over Tsunoda too.

Or rather Tsunoda showed why he shouldn't be first in line for the seat.
