Ultrapassagens difíceis?

Diz-se que é difícil ultrapassar na Fórmula 1 porque a esteira de turbulência deixada pelo carro da frente faz o carro de trás perder pressão aerodinâmica. Faz sentido. Mas Jeremy Clarkson, só poderia ser ele, descobriu um jeito fácil de reverter esse problema que enchatece as corridas:

We're told the cars lose front end grip when tucked in the turbulent wake of another, so overtaking is impossible. Hmm.

I'd like to put that to the test by paying the drivers £25,000 a year and then giving them a million pounds a point. This, I feel sure, would overcome any 'aerodynamic' difficulties.

O depoimento contra o safety car ficou hilário:

What we must avoid is the American system whereby a pace car is sent on the track at the whim of a TV producer. It's great for bunching everyone up but this is bit like asking Roger Federer to wear a suit of armour when playing Tim Henman. Yes, it levels the playing field but you don't have a sense that the best man won.
