18 year old driving for Ferrari @ Saudi GP

Wow

Ferrari's Sainz to miss Saudi Arabian GP with appendicitis

Nothing to worry about kid.

It’s just like your F2 car but it has 20 more horsepower, weighs a a little more and uh, costs $10M more, so go out and have fun.

Those in their early twenties are probably at the peak of their physiological development, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning.

Read that

So if you plateau at 25 level off for 5 to 10 years, I’m thinking those car teams which are employing people 35 and up are probably employing a person at the same physiological attributes.


However, the one ingredient that 35-year-old and above will have is experience


Good luck, Kid

Good information, you should repost in the college basketball thread.

No pressure. Qualifying at Noon.

Remember in Ford vs. Ferrari when Shelby wanted Hill to drive because of his experience but the other Ford exec was a dick? Experience counts.

RQA, are there 35 year olds playing college hoops?

Yep. Exactly. I remember bringing up a freshman outside linebacker to the varsity skipping the JV team. as a coaching staff many members said he doesn’t have varsity experience. I asked everybody to write down on a piece of paper what was the best way to get him varsity experience Then hand it in. Will decide whether he plays varsity or not based on those answers.

Crazy times for Ferrari and Sainz (and F1).

Hamilton (Mercedes) replacing Sainz next season at Ferrari. Sainz gets a podium finish at first race...ahead of Hamilton and other Ferrari driver (LeClerc)...and now gets appendicitis.

Many people consider Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) to be the "best" driver. He's 42.

Don't let Gus see you talking like that. He has informed us that many peak in their 80s.

Aaron Rodgers said he’d like to play 4 more years.

You’re confusing physiological ability with mental acuity and experience. That you want to politicize this up is not surprising however. Enjoy your Friday.

RQA? Real quick?? Had to check my urban dictionary for that one!

I think there are some 27-28 yearolds playing college basketball and I am almost certain that there was a college football player (kicker) over 30 last season.

The brain also has physiology that changes over time. Neuroplasticity decreases, total brain volume decreases, etc. An 18 year old's reflexes are probably faster than a 35 year old's, so from a technical skill standpoint, the younger driver may be the superior choice.

Competitive video games, for instance, are highly reliant on reaction time, and a few milliseconds can make all the difference, so it is very much a young person's game, so to speak.

The kid missed out on Q3. Will start 11th. Will be interesting at the first corner tomorrow.

I read somewhere the mental hurdles for older people doing certain things (potential death or sever injury) start affecting performance after the age of 20. One of the reasons you dont see 40 year old gymnasts doing all the flippy shit where they could break their necks.

I think the last part of your brain to develop is the part that tells you "Hey, don't do this shit, it's a bit dangerous". That part isn't fully developed until the age of 25.

I always wanted to be a racin’ car driver

Just keep turning left and going fast.

Age is just a number....

Except with Greenway, it's a really, really big number.

Driver of the Day.
The kid finished 7th.

Max wins. Red Bull still dominant.
