Salter seems like a great guy. I had no idea the Acura uses an F1 ECU. Thank-you for sharing.
Dave is super fun, so enthusiastic, brain the size of a planet but so good at explaining things in a way even a dummy like me can understand

When we were at Ferrari together he was explaining over a long lunch how the new 2014 F1 hybrid engine worked

One statement he made that just blew my mind was...

The engine will have an electric motor the size of a Coke can weighing less than 9lbs powered by the turbo to 125,000RPM that will put out 150BHP

My pasta had long gone cold before I digested these incomprehensible numbers
