The old Indy F1 layout is still there that would bypass that chicane, but IndyCar also has had no issues with the curbing, and they are about 300 lbs heavier than F1 cars are. I think the big issue for the nascar race was the lowered ride height of the 3400 lb stock cars. Also, not even the xfinity cars had a problem with it as they have a minimum ride height.

Most guys in racing are sub 6'. Graham Rahal might actually be one of the tallest guys in single seater racing at 6' 3". There's actually really good aerodynamic and weight distribution reasons for that.

Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Michael Schumacher are 5'9". Fernando Alonso is 5'7". Just for some examples.
In addition to the height, the weights are also very interesting. Here are the Ht./Wt. for this year's lineup:




So you're saying that other than being 80lbs overweight I have a shot? I mean they could always just remove some of that ballast right?

I guess high school me would have landed right there with Max
AKA the Command Center guy...

Apart from being overweight, not rich, having poor reflexes, and general lack of driving skill I am right in the cusp!

In addition to all of the above, I'm also not very coachable.

What I hate is that chicane on the Mulsanne straight. I know why they put it there, but still.

Sorry...didn't realize the video would be blocked from being played on here. It is Alonso's helmet cam from one of his runs today during FP2.

That was easily the best part of today's coverage.

Best angle of the true driver site line and the best 2 minutes of F1 broadcasting this year.

Who wants to drive an F1 car through Eau Rouge now? That is an amazing section in any car but F1 is nearly flat out.

So how to the tire rules work when it's a wet qualifier? Or probably won't matter anyway because tomorrow will be wet too?

I think once the wets go on the tire regs are off. I think. I know that's how it works for the race.

So what tire are they required to start on tomorrow if it's a dry race and qualifying is wet. I guess that's the question and I don't know. Looks like a mute point for this race anyway.

Wow. Williams taking full advantage of wet qualifying. Russell and Latifi make Q2 and Russell is P5 in Q1.

Never ceases to amaze me they can drive these things in the rain. So much hp and acceleration on a slick surface

that sucks so hard - that should have been red flagged and someone was going to wreck.

loads of lateral forces back-and-forth there

He had a good car too. They will get him on the grid but the car won't be the same. Sucks for Lando.
