Lewis Hamilton has won the inaugural United States GP at Austin after passing Sebastian Vettel at two thirds of the race distance. The German finished second while Fernando Alonso is third at more than 40 seconds of the leading duo, keeping his championship hopes alive.

They sound a bit exagerated. Martin Wittmarsh was saying the other day that he brags to people he's showing round that the car can do nearly 5g deceleration with lewis on the breaks. Apparently an engineer told him later that these days they're a little over 6g deceleration. So 7.9g sounds unlikely, but not too much exaggerated.ChrisDanger wrote:Maximum Lateral Acceleration [m/s^2]: -58.695 = 6 gKiril Varbanov wrote:...I spent some time working on the simulation model, and here's a sample of data for Austing GP...
Maximum Longitudinal Deceleration [m/s^2]: -77.480 = 7.9 g
Are these figures realistic?
The line into turn one is very tight, so even if you have the exta speed carrying into turn one you will still need to find somewhere to go. I think pole is still crucial to avoid accident.ParanoiD wrote:Just a thought after seeing pic grid position of the pole into turn 1, it is such a short distance until the hill climb. The further down the grid, you have longer distance travelled going into the hill climb, which will carry more speed and hence more momentum to climb the hill = faster.
Or the power of F1 engine is too great and make those difference negligible.
What do u guys think? Will the poleman get the disadvantages? CMIIW

F1.com also has a 'convert to my local time' for all sessions on the official website. Works a charm.adam2003 wrote:I every one asleep? no 1 has spoken for hours. how many hours are America ahead /UK?
Also what times FP1 in uk?
You realise the session times section of formula1.com has a "convert to my time zone" button, right?adam2003 wrote:I every one asleep? no 1 has spoken for hours. how many hours are America ahead /UK?

yea but its not the same as the forces a fighter pilot copes with as they are pushing a totally different direction and either pulling blood away from your brain or pushing blood to it which causes the blackouts at fairly low G'sChrisDanger wrote:Maximum Lateral Acceleration [m/s^2]: -58.695 = 6 gKiril Varbanov wrote:...I spent some time working on the simulation model, and here's a sample of data for Austing GP...

its good that we are now seeing more of the real kimi.astracrazy wrote:Q: Kimi?
Kimi Raikkonen: I’ve only seen the video from when they did the demo run here, but I haven’t seen the circuit itself. I will see tomorrow how it goes.
Q: You won’t even walk the circuit this afternoon?
KR: I don’t know yet. I’ll have to see.
Q: After the comment from the last Grand Prix, it’s good to see…
KR: Well, I mean, if I found a golf cart or something.
lol
