don't mind me fellas just painting n shit

Robert Kubica's crash certainly is one of the worst in recent Formula 1 history. He was lucky to survive that with such minor injuries.

Polke!

Is this from the perspective of another painter standing on the track?

Fix'd

Helmet says Picasso :P

and the drive still found time to wave at the painter !! thats a pro!

he's either the worlds fastest painter or he can stop time, either way, I WANT THAT KIND OF SKILL!!

Now THAT's Speed painting.

i love how in racing we have like this batass insane crashes where the vehicle flips through the air and shit that people walk away from with minor injuries or no injuries at all, and in real life people die from running off the road into a tree at 40 km/h

shit makes no sense

Actually it makes perfect sense. The racecars are designed with a concept known as 'ablative destructibility'. The cars are designed in a specific manner to be flimsy, so that if they crash, the pieces practically explode away. This absorbs kinetic energy, and thus spreads it out amongst all the pieces. Whereas in a normal automobile, due to the need for durability, they cannot do this as well. Furthermore, the driver is geared for some impact damage and will tumble out of the wreckage, while in a normal automobile, the heavy wreckage is usually itself the killer. Lastly, racecars are significantly lighter than automobiles, meaning that although fast, they have much less inertia behind them- it requires much more force to propel a 1-ton vehicle at 50mph than a 200-lb vehicle at 200mph.

Lol. Nice.

yeah, Yeah Science Bitch!

Last year was a disaster for Robert Kubica.
At least he got 1 point for Williams tho.

Nice car! Not so nice scratch. Wouldn't it be nice if removing ugly scratches from your car was this easy?

I feel bad for the Williams team

I know this is actually 9 years old but an F1 car actually weighs 1,600lbs.

Here's the crash if anyone wants to find it. The video is age restricted but yeah it's Robert Kubica and the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix.

Its still significantly lighter than normal car so it still checks out

Only 2000s kids will this crash and his subsequent victory at the same venue one year later.

That car got ripped to shreds, surprised he made it out with minor injuries

Race cars tends to have better safety features compared to regular cars

I thought this was common sense.

If you're wearing your seat belt and your seat is positioned properly, a 40km/h crash should not kill you.

Not really. They have different safety features, built for different scenarios than a road car, sure. But a street car with a roll cage (for example,) is actually more dangerous to just hop in and take it to the shops. If you have a roll cage, you should also have a 4 or 5 point harness, and a helmet. Otherwise, you're likely to hit your head on the cage and be injured worse in a crash. Similarly, if you have a racing harness, you should have a cage (and thus a helmet,) as the harness does not allow your body to move out of the way of a crushed roof, like a 3-point belt does. Street cars have crumple zones to absorb the impact, but race cars use ablative crash structures to dissipate the impact instead. Both have their merits, but one is easier for someone who isn't a million-dollar F1 team to rebuild. Some high-end supercars have both, if you've ever seen pictures of a wrecked supercar where the engine is several hundred meters away from the cabin. That's a designed breakaway point, to let the engine section take as much of the momentum of the crash away from the occupants.

I was thinking of the thing i was taught back in one of my classes where they said something about how the cars break apart easily to absorb the crash and cause a smaller casualty, but the more you know ig. And damn thats a long response lmao
