And now pit stops are only 2 seconds +
-
those would be some expensive wheels
-
i wish modern f1 was those big hp brutes from the 70's with a manual transmission.
-
Lol, Hammond looks tall when talking to the F1 guy.
-
why wouldn't they make the wheels out of carbon fibre? It's light, strong and won't set itself on fire.
-
that stop was slow....I've seen RedBull pit crew change all four tires in less time during a race
-
oh lord I've droped my sword :D

Was professor Nick Hall James May's cousin? ;)

New Top Gear isn't that bad.
-
if its too cold it will wear? but if heat is introduced to metal it expands. i don't understand?
-
I miss that sound
-
2.4L is in europ one of the bigest petrol engines that you can buy and its in the most expensive cars
1.6L is the average and 1.3 in small cars -
Too bad rain and Safetycar destroy the Spirit of Formula one. The best drivers in the World cant drive on a wet road.

unfortunately the whole "piston cannon" analogy is very flawed in so many ways. first of all the valve that lets the pressure in doesn't open instantly or consistently. 2nd of all (and to add to the valve problem) the tighter piston is so tight it actually sticks in the bore. this means the loose piston starts moving out of the way of building pressure while the tight piston sits there allowing the pressure to build higher behind it before it moves which has nothing to do with how an actual piston or pressure works in an engine. 3rd they didnt use any oil which reinforces the 2nd problem outlined above and last but not least pistons dont even do the sealing, RINGS DO and neither of the pistons used in the cannon had rings on them!
to test this properly they should've put rings and oil on the pistons, put them in the bore and then put a force gauge on the piston and released the pressure measuring the force of the piston on the gauge as the pressure leaked past. with that test I bet both pistons would be pretty much the same. -
Hammond discussing "working temperature of the machine" 3 times for getting it into his top gear

I came from Malaysia,is it possible that I become a F1 engineer in the future?
-
Love Richard Hammond from Top Gear. New to F1, I'm interested so far!

Ahhh back when the F1 cars didn't sound like a glorified leaf blower.
