Yuki: “I nearly got sent back home" He had the required visas and has raced in USA before, but this time was questioned & held for nearly 3 hours because he 'didn't look like an F1 driver'. People who get angry at LH44 for using his platform to talk about racism need to take a good long look.

42. Slipstream: When a car is behind another on a straight, they get a lot more speed because all the air resistance and drag is faced by the car in front. This helps the car behind to overtake and is aided by DRS.
