It wouldn't be that hard, the camera would be on him for at least half the race so you wouldn't forget it's him.

Sashimi posted:I remember the article you're talking about but I also can't find it. The fastest car though, it was something nuts like 8WD all powered by electric motors via a gas turbine generator. It also had full ground effects and a fan. It could theoretically take hairpins at something absolutely retarded like 160km/h. Made modern F1 cars look like go karts in comparison. Can humans corner at 160km/h? That's like 8g or so isn't it?

His concept also used a fan, aside from the McLaren F1 I'm somewhat surprised fans haven't been used for downforce more often when permitted (as in road cars or hillclimbers). Here is a good helmet;  Human Grand Prix fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Feb 18, 2015 |

E:on almost all forms of motorsport there is a line regarding fan forced aerodynamic aids (including FSAE!)

Lauder said that if development had continued on fan assisted cars then then F1 would have out grown the race tracks and a lot of drivers would have died.

Human Grand Prix posted:IIRC Newey said 8G is near what the human body can take. Either you recall wrong or Newey is wrong  . The main issue with sustained G-loading is when it's on the Z-axis (vertical), as the heart struggles to pump the blood to the brain. With a load on the X-axis, the tolerance is much much higher.

I wonder if anyone would have changed their helmet design knowing it would be locked in for the season. Or are they locked in based on the one they start Melbourne with? Are they allowed "special" helmets for practice and quali? Stupid rules that do almost nothing... good job, FIA! That's surely what you should be spending your time on. Nothing else wrong around here!

The overall design being the same is a good thing (gently caress Vettel), I would hope they would allow drivers to add personal messages for home races, memorials, etc, as long as the main colour scheme isn't affected. It makes sense for drivers to be identifiable by their helmets.

I'd hope they could come up with a rule that would say something like "a driver's helmet has to be recognizable to them and maintain the same design" while allowing for special one-offs that still fit the criteria, but I'm sure frauds would exploit it and make helmets with flashing lights that look like wood and poo poo. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2013/01/15/helmets-sebastian-vettel/ Only goes thru 2012...disgusting.

If it's not complaining about poo poo designs it's complaining about them changing and not knowing which driver is which. I just don't get it. Learn which color camera/aerial thing each driver has on a team and you're good.

I think the helmet change will only benefit Vettel. After all, he gets paid by the point.
