Wouldn't be surprised if it had more to do with their expertise with carbon fibre than anything else. You're not going to find anyone with more expertise with that material than F1 teams.

What caused ISIS? The war in Afghanistan, and especially Iraq. The dictator was toppled, and not effectively replaced. Saddam may have not been the nicest guy, but he lead a fairly stable country. He was firmly in charge.

By not effectively replacing the leader of a country, it leads to a power vacuum, looking for someone to take that power. ISIS grew to fill that void. If you displace them, someone else will come along and take that power, potentially even worse than ISIS

Agreed. My one concern is that he continues to make continual reference to conservatives vs liberals (a very "us-vs-them" mentality), which is so endemic and harmful to the US political landscape.

Politics is, by it's very nature, the game of compromise and by telling conservatives to put people into categories doesn't really help that. If politicians refuse to play the game of compromise then the political system becomes extremely ineffective (i.e. what we have at the moment with Republican obstructionism)
