The magic of F1 cars in the last years was for that although the power output of the engines has decreased and so is the downforce due to regulations lap times have stayed consistent. Its fascinating to see how people like Adrian Newey keep on pushing the envelope to produce brilliant cars with tough regulations.

BTW A short poll how many HN readers are into F1?

Yes. I used to live a few hundred metres from the track. The noise is incredible, you can hear several kilometres away.

Very much so. Although I live in South Africa, I try to see one live race every year.
