    @Kym Illman FYI: Latifi is playing hockey right handed, it’s the top hand that controls the stick not the lower one. Right hand = blade on left side. Left hand = blade on right side.

    The Silverstone podium is also not above the garages, it is at the end of the complex, meaning if you pay top dollar for a grandstand seat opposite the pitlane , you cant actually see the podium which is to the right just around the corner , not a very good design, Also pit lanes have to be flat , where as the start finish straight goes up hill slightly, so if you sit the the left hand grandstands , the pit boxes are obscured by the elevation of the track, again , another bad design issue that most don't ever find out until to late .

    On the Track Width Rule, it's definitely more of a guideline. Suzuka and Monza come straight to mind. All the supposed track design rules have been broken in F1 in recent years, such as the 12m minimum width broken with Baku

    the strap under the foot is called a "stirrup". bruce lee also used stirrups in his adidas trainers on movie sets, as do many other athletes (and soldiers), depending on the gear they have. its just really practical.

    F1 is in a little bit of a golden era, and very popular, maybe because of Netflix's driver to survive. But the FIA just races at which ever circuits pay the most. When the new calendar included Las Vegas I was very disppointed. Three races in the USA, Five races in North America and all over the place on the calendar. All street circuits should be axed, starting with Las Vegas and the two in the middle east. Albert Park isn't a street circuit, it's a race track open to the public the other 51 weeks of the year.
