MODERATORS
So do i. Are they accurate?
Let's see:
They are going at about 315 km/h when crossing the line (for laziness reasons we ignore speed differences and speed changes...).
315 kilometes per hour is the same as 87.5 meters per second - so every second they are traveling 87.5 meters.
Multiplying the speed with the time gaps, we get:
VER: 87.5 ร 0.013 = 1.14 meters
LEC: 87.5 ร 0.067 = 5.86 meters
RUS: 87.5 ร 0.377 = 33 meters
PER: 87.5 ร 0.394 = 33.48 meters
Some other guidelines:
The diameter of an F1 tyre is about 0.72 meters.
An F1 car is about 5.5 meters long.
Grid slots are 8 meters (to the next one diagonally) or 16 meters (to the next one behind) apart. Two grid rows behind equals to 32 meters behind.
Make your own conclusions with this information!
Personally I think it's quite accurate.
Thanks!
