This weekend\u2019s GP caused a lot of stir. The events that unfolded were so grandiose that they\u2019ll affect every person in the world, even those who don\u2019t follow FormulaProc. This was bigger than the first transistors! Am I being overly dramatic? My editor says \u201cyes\u201d. Read along to know what am I talking about!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many fans were disappointed after the cancelation of the Austrian GP, especially given the extremely short notice. But we are happy to see the traditional race at Silverstone managed to survive the controversial security measures and we are back in action! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I look back at the previous Grand Prix, it seems like we were all watching them blindfolded. Silverstone’21 changed everything as we can finally see<\/strong> the cars flying through the tracks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The qualifier session was a meatgrinder. We were able to see how treacherous the Silverstone Circuit\u2019s curves are. Silverstone showed that even if many nations tread on its borders, It\u2019s a force of nature to be respected, just like the old British Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most treacherous curves during the qualifiers were Arena <\/em>and Chapel<\/em>. Please tell me you noted how Hatena\u2019s cars were flying! Yes; maybe they ended up in predictable positions, but it\u2019s my impression that they were just playing. How else would you explain what we saw during the GP? But I\u2019m getting ahead of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jochen and Biskup were phenomenal. They seemed hell-bent on beating each other\u2019s time. So hard was this internal competition that their qualifying times were EXACTLY the same down to the hundredth of second!. No regard for safety, no respect for the curves, just pure adrenaline. When they caught notice of each other\u2019s time, tense gazes could be seen. Why? you might ask. Well, faithful followers of FormulaProc know this already, so please be patient with me while I let the newbies into this juicy drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jochen had a high-school sweetheart called Carlina Weber. If the name rings a bell, that means you must like looking at lingerie catalogs from central Europe. Hers is the biggest name of German supermodels. They were together for 8 years! And all that ended last month when she was seen holding hands with no other than Biskup. If you want more details, go read the article<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chamber of the Unseen deemed Biskup to take the pole position ahead of Jochen. Kisielewicz was no joke, ending virtually at the same time as the green bullets, followed by Wichman within less than a second. Simernino saved the day for Majeyaux, Denzi and Geckinho were able to top the Slaras, and Casalini showed a severe lack of focus and will start in the last position. (He was seen the past two weeks partying, no doubt celebrating his historical pole position in France. His lack of practice showed, however. Let\u2019s hope he doesn\u2019t start resting on his laurels now.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start with the summary of the race, I promised you something big and if you are reading this without having watched a recording of the GP, stop right now, watch the opening and come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all saw Hatena debut their new pretty deep-blue cars in the past race; that, however, seemed like just a first step to their renewed applied technology. Let me tell you some insider information: the new cars seem to work in conjunction with the new Hatenas driver’s uniforms. According to my sources, the skin-thigh suit allows a connection between the driver and the car, anticipating the reactions of the drivers and giving them a huge advantage when steering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, this breaks no rules since there is no evidence of automated driving, but some teams have already argued this is an unfair advantage over the other drivers because it eliminates the reaction time factor while driving and after this race\u2026 Well, the results may not be perfect but it\u2019s clear this new technology will revolutionize driving forever, regardless of what the Chamber of the Unseen decides on the legality of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told you this was big. Lucky you if you have any stocks on Hatena!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let’s talk about the GP race!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race starts and immediately we saw results of Hatena\u2019s new tech\u2026 with varying success. Denzi seemed to be having some issues getting adjusted, but Geckinho? He was a natural. Whenever his competitor got to \u201cThe Loop\u201d, Geckinho left them eating dust! Both Wichman and Jochen tried to accelerate on the curve to impede Geckinho\u2019s approach and that proved too much for them… both ended up almost crashing and losing their places!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
