Red Doesn't Mean Brake

One of my sisters who stayed in Malacca sent me a message saying that she asked her cousin whether Formula 1 car has brake light or not. Her cousin said yes and still insist there really is plus plan to prove it to her. I believe that I have mentioned this before in my previous entry about this issue.

If you were watching the Hungary Grand Prix F1 race last Sunday, you would notice those red flashing lights at the back of the F1 cars. Those are not built to be brake light. The weather was really bad, and thick vapor was created by the wheels of the car after it picked up from the wet conditioned road. The red light provide vision aid for those drivers who tailgate another F1 car on the circuit. On a normal day, it will be used as a rpm limiter indicator during pit in. Red light doesn't mean it is a brake light, got it? Okay =P

Muahahaha...Luuee~ No brake light doesn't mean no brake. There is built-in brake disc which has a different design than our road cars. F1 car just doesn't has brake light but it has brake system. Normally, they won't feel want to go to toilet because they are dehydrating very fast, I mean really really fast. That's why they have to drink onboard where there is a button at the control panel stated "drink" muahahaha.... The drivers lost about 2 kg of their weight and calories during the race due the stress. So you can imagine how good their mental condition has to be =P
