[quote P9H6L4FSB8EDTXCU]It's staggering to think that these things only weigh about 600kg but have close to 1000bhp, can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just over 2.0 secs.[/quote] And here's another category that has the same power to weight ratio: Sprintcars. Steve Kinser won the World of Outlaws sprintcar championship 20 times, racing 200+ times a year. If F1 raced 200 races a year, then I'd be impressed by them. But as they restrict themselves to so few events I have little time for the category and the win rates they claim. BTW: Kinser's career win rate is around 25% and his podium finish rate is almost 50%. He started racing when he was 20 and retired a couple of years ago aged 64, still winning. Here's a couple of photos from Steve's racing in Australia with his brother Randy. In this October 2020 video of the Williams Grove Open, watch for Kyle Larson, who never gives up. You do not see this sort of side by side, never give up racing in F1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTHfoIAX2gg
