Pretty kickass and a good way of explaining why the cars will be ugly this year (but hopefully with more passing).

Very cool find, thanks for sharing.

I wonder what F1 will do for battery technology? I hope it results in lighter, higher capacity, higher amperage stuff. My scooter needs a boost!

that is a cool video, I wouldn't really say they made the cars uglier though - F1 cars never looked "good" to me - purposeful, yes, beautiful, no

That makes me hopeful that those ugly ass cars will make for some better racing.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

I imagine it'll push battery technology along. Formula 1 has even more advanced aerodynamic knowledge than most sectors of military aviation so I wouldn't be surprised if they can really advance battery tech.

I just hope the full-line manufacturers with a vested interest in battery tech stay in Formula 1. That would mean basically Toyota and BMW. I can't imagine Ferrari or Mercedes really need it that much. Honestly this is the perfect tech for Honda to develop but they decided to fold. I'm still half expecting Toyota to do the same.
