11:55 That graphic is awesome! Contrary to my previous comment, I do love the technology behind F1 racing cars. It is completely insane. Oh, Ian. If you read this, please have a look at some of the Formula E racing. I call it electric F1 and it's arguably 'quicker' and more entertaining due to the battery limitations. You don't get to refuel in F-E.

@MrKnowledge0014 I was thinking n terms of torque, and when they use the boost mode or whatever they call it. I'm only an F-E noob at the moment.

Prestigious? I'm being Mr Negative but I'd call it a rich man's cult. Yes, modern car tech is a result of the experimentation of F1 engines. However, the whole F1 scene is complex. It's a tax dodge. It's a tech company's dream contract. Rish, egotistic corporation CEOs will spend whatever it takes to put their name at the top of the F1 list. But they don't pay to race at a track. Gullible city councils who believe that F1 will draw huge crowds and their cash find out that it doesn't quite work that way. The councils and states pay to host a GP. In the end, it is just an exposure exercise because most cities/councils break even at best. Some local businesses profit but an equal amount lose money because their businesses become inaccessible at race time. Oh, dear. I am a Mr Grumpy this evening. Sorry for the rant.
