Electric F1?

Before it becomes issue, I was thinking of the electric F1, maybe for 3 years, except for size.

First time, I considered anime called 'cyber formula' compared to current F1. Initially, maybe 5 years ago, I concentrated on the variable aerodynamics, which is currently performed, but later on, I noticed that there is electric car which is competing to other gas cars.

Also, I wanted to drive F1 car, but as for most people, it is not possible, so I made an idea, combining with game, to make remote controllable small car, but not like just RC car but with simulator controller.

Then, we can think of electric small (maybe 1/3) remote control car with sensors & realistic performer controller (simulator). This is what I thought which is most realisable, getting sponsors of mobile phone companies, as the technologies inside this is the core of mobile electric devices. Wi-fi technology (to control car), battery technology, semiconductors, except for motors. Motor technology may be useful for other industry.

Also, this idea is of the name of this blog.

What happened to the wings of Michael Schumacher?

In the last picture, you might see the wing with some dirty stuffs. By its colour of black and appearance, the dirt might be some carbonates, which is oil etc. Then, why is there such industrial dirt than sand or soil which is plenty around the course? We can think very few candidates possibly to be on the circuit. Oil from car, debris from the car body (carbon fabricate), and the part of tyres. In this season, we have seen the shortness of endurance of Pirelli tyres. At the backstraight of the China, we could see rolling little pieces of rubber which considered to be from tyres after and after from the series of cars. So, the debris taken out from the tyre is considered to have to be some 'pieces'. However, considering the basic mechanism of how tyre works, the surface of circuit is attached with melted rubber from tyres. Usually they stick on the surface so on the most of cars we cannot see such dirt. However, seeing the picture, we can see how Pirelli tyres are easy to melt, which is softer than Bridgestone.
