The two-time world champion Max Verstappenhas charged against the ‘sprint’ and proposes alternatives. “Honestly, I’m not a big fan of them. I feel like we don’t compete. Yes, there are points at stake, but you know you can’t risk it because it’s the main race where everything is at stake”, she commented at the press conference prior to the Brazilian GP. “There are no pit stops so you choose the tire that will last you the whole race; you don’t see many overtakingexcept when a car goes very out of position… I don’t find them ...

The Honda Accord is one of the most recognized sedans in the world. We already knew that its new generation was almost ready, and now we finally have its world presentation with its specifications. The changes are deep, so we have a lot of material to cut. Honda Accord 2023, design This eleventh generation has a more conservative look than its predecessor. The 2023 Accord now features a more traditional black mesh grille flanked by LED headlights, with a curvier front bumper that helps emphasize the width of the car. We can also see a longer hood and streamlined bodywork with a relatively subtle character line. To tell the truth, now the design seems much less Japanese and more German, perhaps relating it a bit with the extinct Volkswagen Pas...
In 2021, despite the fact that the car seemed to be less fast than the current one, Alpine managed a victory and a podium. Very different story is this season. None of this has been achieved, not even by Fernando Alonso nor by Stephen Ocon. The Asturian has been very clear about it.

And then the podium, I don’t know, maybe in Canada we had a chance, maybe in Australia we had another, but we lost them through our own fault.” The goal now is to be fourth in the constructors’ championship: “I think McLaren is one step behindThat’s why we’re fighting...
The use of dummies for crash tests was born in the 70s, when General Motors created the Hybrid I, a dummy designed to represent the average man in height, weight and proportions. It was a time when driving was considered to be a predominantly male activity, something that has changed a lot today. Over time, when mannequins were needed to represent women, children and babies, the engineers simply changed the size of the male mannequininstead of creating models that follow the average shapes and proportions of other human genders and ages. It was only in 2011 that the first crash test focused on female physiognomy was carried out, but their complexion represented only 5% of women, measuring 1.50 m and weighing 49 Kg, the approximate dimensions of a 12-year-old girl. E...
