#435 Porpoising, Names & Rocket Science. Are the F1 teams ready for the first race? We ask questions about the correct names of drivers and teams. Are Mercedes using space tech on their car? Toto Wolff talks mental health. BAD return with Rocket Science.
Big Audi Dynamite - Rocket Science
You take a chassis
Make it lighter
Add an engine
You’ve built a fighter
Make it lower
Give it more power
Run it, and test it for hour after hour
There’s no magic
There’s no voodoo
To make it quicker
Just depends on what you do
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close
Manage the air going over the car
Make it suck like a Dyson
Make that sucker stick to the tar
The very idea’s enticing
There’s no magic
There’s no voodoo
To make it quicker
Just depends on what you do
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close
<Toaster/Rapper>
We give it good suspension
And we see it hopping
We don’t worry about the brakes
This car’s not for stopping.
There ain’t no mystery how to make so much it quicker
No secret fuel
No go faster sticker
Not even writing on the side with italic graphics
You just can’t change the laws of physics
You take a chassis
Make it lighter
Add an engine
You’ve built a fighter
Make it lower
Give it more power
Run it, and test it for hour after hour
There’s no magic
There’s no voodoo
To make it quicker
Just depends on what you do
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close
It ain’t exactly rocket science
…but it’s close.
