i’m hoping for outscored by russell...

[Henchster]

Can’t happen this year. After last year’s embarrassment of having their $5m driver outscore their $50m driver, Toto made sure that wouldn’t happen again by giving Russell the bad strategies all year.

[Chode]

i’ll settle for him finishing ahead of FLH...

A Formula 1 car on average generates around 3 Terabytes of data in one race. It uses more than 300 sensors and radio communication to transfer data in real time to the pit wall, the factory, and the FIA [1]. These sensors must work flawlessly without any compromise as the performance of the car as well as the regulation of the rules depends on the data transmitted by these sensors. In this article, we glance at some of the most common and important sensors in an F1 car, studying their principles and applications.
