Thought your 90% vs 10% was a bit on the low side for the driver but wasn't sure so I asked a friendly F1 engineering director and he came back with 80% vs 20%
Curt thanks for that video link, brought back some good memories for me, as a thank you from the team I worked for I was very lucky and watched a F1 race from the garage/pit wall in Monaco, the speed
the speed is incredible
TV doesn't do it justice
Deschodt, without reading your post I mentioned out loud today at work, followed with a heavy sigh 'I miss 20,000rpm V10's' someone replied 'you can't say things like that'
ZAMIRZ, not sure if you've read about Roborace a fledgling AI race car series, very cool sci-fi looking cars not sure why anyone would watch this without the variable element of a human driver
Today's F1 tech is amazing, wish I could show you guys what I see at work as the level of detail that goes into designing and building an F1 car has more in common with the stuff NASA does than any road car.
