Much has been written and researched on the consequences of air pollution caused by traffic. And in this one that researchers in Canada have caught a group of healthy adults and have exposed them to diesel fumes, and then take images of their brain activity using an MRI. Their goal: to see how acute exposure to traffic pollution affects the functioning of the human brain. It is difficult to measure how much pollution affects human health and the most common is to associate rates of certain diseases to areas with high pollution. Sometimes mice have also been exposed to toxins in the laboratory… but it must be recognized that this has very little to do with the chronic exposure of an urban person throughout life. I honestly don’t think he would let me expose myself to high levels...
Max Verstappen has already chosen which helmet he will wear in 2023. The Dutchman, current world champion with Red Bull and defender of the title since he won it for the first time in 2021, he has shown the design that he is going to wear. And he will remember many to which it led in 2017. Because the color that will predominate in what is one of the most characteristic elements of a pilot it’s the red, something that was already noticed six years ago. Besides, Verstappen’s lion. On this occasion painted red with the V of his last name in white. On the sides, the blue. In total, the chromatic trio representative of the flag of their country, Netherlands. Things change with respect to 2022. The gold, typical of the world champion, does not appear. And with respect to the already...
I confess. When I have to try an electric car or a plug-in hybrid, I often take advantage of going to the nearest supermarket (a Mercadona, yes) and charge a little while I shop. It is not a very fast recharge, they barely go to 3.7 kW, but in the 20-30 minutes that you are there, you gain a few kilometers of autonomy. Well then. It seems that that is over… or at least to do it for free. Now, in collaboration with Iberdrola and Repsol, they are going to invest 21 million euros in implementing 5,000 charging points between now and 2022. Much faster (six times more, they go from 3.7 to 22 kW) and of course, for a fee. An important detail is missing: the price. The company’s statement only indicates that “electric vehicle users who recharge in these chargers will be able to ...
It is curious how the market has evolved in the last decade. It happens that the SUV are the absolute protagonists on the sales charts, a body type that has won over the public primarily for aesthetics (because they really do have more downsides than upsides). So many have wanted to get on the bandwagon even with models that had not been initially developed as a crossover. An example is in the Fiat Tipo Cross which we tried a few weeks ago and which could have hit the spot in many respects. The first is that it is one of the cheapest compacts on the current market, starting from 18,410 euros (about 25,000 euros the tested unit). The key to maintaining a sensible rate is that it is an adaptation of the five-door Fiat Tipo, which has been raised in height and has been added aesthetic details...
In the motor world we we found all kinds of records, some more colorful than others. It is common to talk about speed, which accredit the capabilities of a vehicle. Although the one we bring today is one of the most unlikely because it would not be legal to do it on the open road. He Skoda Enyaq RS iV has skidded on ice for more than 7 kilometers in a row to enter the Guinness World Records. It may seem easy, but to achieve it it has to be a totally controlled and continuous maneuver. The first thing is to find a suitable location to carry out this type of action. was chosen the Stortjärnen frozen lake, near Östersund (Sweden), for its circular track of 188.496 meters in circumference. The journalist Richard Meaden was in charge of pushing the Skoda Enyaq RS to the limit, the top-of-the-ra...
Max Verstappen already knows what ‘beast‘ will have in hand in 2023. Red Bull presented its new car in New York, and also took the opportunity to lay the foundations for an increasingly near future that will bring Ford back to Formula 1. The two-time champion, who won the World Cup with tremendous superiority last year, has spoken and has pointed out who according to him will be his biggest rival for next year. And no, it’s not going to suit you particularly well. Neither Ferrari nor Carlos Sainz. Because for him, despite the great start to 2022 that they had in Maranello and the fact that Mercedes was not completely fine until well into the season, his great adversary will be those who drive a German car. They will be those of the star, and of Ferrari only have doubts an...
With Honda showing off the chassis of his single-seater, of the presentation of Red Bull for 2023, those of the energy drinks announced his deal with Ford by 2026. His agreement with a brand, with a logo, that returns to F1 after decades of absence after his last time with Jaguar in 2004. Now, with the Americans already on the pitch, the doubts are with the Japanese motor giant . Because those of Sakura are one of the big names in ‘motorsport’. They are in motorcycling and also on four wheels. Both in competitions such as the IndyCar as well as in Formula 1. They were in the golden age of McLaren with Senna and Prost, and also now, after the “GP2 Engine” became a world champion engine for two consecutive years. In 2021, they led Verstappen to the drivers’ titl...
Red Bull already has its future guaranteed until 2030. A future in which, more than two decades later, the Ford name returns to Formula 1. The energy drink brand and one of the most mythical names in motorsport will join forces in 2026 in an agreement that will last for five seasons. It will be when a new era in F1 begins. One in which after many problems with the power units, which have suffered Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault and above all Honda, only the Japanese became part of the ‘Great Circus’ party. They were proclaimed world champions, but they spent three years with McLaren in which his prestige could not fall lower. Because the reliability and power failures were notorious. Alonso suffered them, with the mythical phrase of the “GP2 Engine” surely still present ...
max verstappen He has come out of the way to correct even his bosses. To one of his bosses. To one of the most authoritative voices within Red Bull. The Dutchman, once the presentation of what it will end up being the RB19, new car of the energy drinks for the World Cup, He has denied that a simulator is going to be built on his plane. “I think that it would be a bit absurd. I think he must have misunderstood and said it was a plane… but no. I’m not going to install one there”, it states. And it is that where it is going to do it is going to be in your ‘motorhome’: “I’m building a new one to travel around Europe to the Grands Prix. I told him I would install one there.” “I want to keep driving when I come back at night because I l...
