Yes, and thanks
Did he cop a penalty?(nvm, found it) At first glance it looked a bit cheeky, but on re-watching it just looked like a racing incident... and he says his braking point was the same as the lap prior, not that it persuaded the stewardsI figure this might be right up your alley:

Race car drivers are much better drivers than you or me
Here's Lewis Hamilton back in his karting days. Last place to first in 3/4 laps, against an experienced field in top karts!

Very impressive, and well worth a re-watch. I actually hadn't upvoted it, but have fixed that
Wow is exactly what @lurgee said.

Happy 100000th Mile, Van!
My truck rolled 200,000 in the middle of the afternoon on a Friday, half way through one of the city's busiest intersections. I stopped and me and my friend got out and did a victory lap around the truck yelling at the top of our lungs, 200,000!!! 200,000!!!
The other drivers weren't as impressed as we were.
Running Baby Goats
The goat trailing at beginning of the first lap does the best jump kick lol. Cute as hell
RSR RAW: Porsche 918 Hot Lap - Spa
The 918 Spyder has a Dual Clutch transmission that's usually used in automatic mode.
I'm guessing the adjustment he was making was brake bias, but who knows. It's a hybrid car so could be a lot of things.
Was also a bad lap from this guy. He missed a few apex's and I've seen porsche's flat out on some parts of this track where he wasn't. You can see his reaction when he's shown his time and he knows it wasn't his best.
Max Verstappen drives Dad Jos around Monaco
I found an actual transcript, translated to English (and video with the original sound, instead of having it turned down):
00:01 Max: Do I have to put the seatbelt on? CameraMan: I would put it on
00:07 Max: Nice isn't it! 17years old, can't drive on the road but here in Moncaco you can!
00:15 Jos: Well Max, we're going to do a lap of Monaco. You're going to tell us how you're going to do it.
00:25 Jos:It's quite weird to get driving lessons from your son!
00:28 Jos:Are you going to keep the car in one piece?
00:30 Max: Yeah no problem
00:33 Jos: Jezus Max! ehhh Fuck!
00:40 Max: There is a bump here so you need to go around it.
00:42 Jos:It's not fun at all to drive along with him to be honest.
00:45 Max: Come of the brakes here, back on the throttle, as close as you can get to the wall.brake as late as you can.
00:53 Jos: Everything ok with Olav in the back? (dutch comentator)
00:58 Max: Try to get some curb here and get a good exit out of here.
01:06 Jos: This is were we enter the tunnel, how fast do you drive here with a F1 car? Max: At the end of the straight around 290kph.
01:16 Jos:Where do you brake? Max: at the 120m mark, but we're not going to do that in this car because I have to safe the brakes a little bit.
01:29 Jos: I don't like this at all!
01:34 Max: This is where you can safe a lot of time towards the chicane and that one is almost full throtle.
01:46 Jos: I'm so glad the lap is almost done! Oh jezus.
02:01 Max: Get a good exit onto the straight.
02:08 Jos: Ok just slow it down now, I'm done with this after one lap.
02:14 Max: What? It went alright didn't it? Jos: Yeah, it looked alright. Olav: HolyMoly!
Massive GT4 European Series crash at Red Bull Ring
I dunno, I'm still not convinced. We aren't seeing what happened before though, and I'm assuming the inside car is the one doing the passing, which may not be the case. If you're passing someone on the inside and you're two wide in a corner, it certainly is your responsibility to leave room for the car you are passing. Though you could be right, it doesn't look to me as though the outside car turned into the inside car, and the driver certainly never would have done that intentionally because that would inevitably end in them both crashing (assuming this isn't a Prost/Senna sort of thing). Since they're both sweeping towards the outside, the way I see it, the inside car is the one that hit the car on the outside.
Granted, even in this scenario, the driver on the outside could and should have conceded the corner, but he isn't obliged to do so, and I certainly wouldn't have expected it on the final corner of the final lap of the race.
It will be interesting to see what the stewards say. Or said, I suppose they probably already said whatever and I can just google it.
edit: The Jalopnik link text seems to agree with my assessment, that it was the inside driver's fault if anybody is to be at fault.
How Not To Rescue A Sheep
That's not how ewe do it? Gotta tenderize that meat before it goes baa'd. Don't be like all the sheeple, use sheer force. I'm grazing these puns, it that how you wool'd do it?

There's a monkey on the car!
This is fucking hilarious. Kids are just sponges for this sort of thing. I've got an 18 month old boy and he's not quite talking yet but I'm having to really watch what I say so he doesn't pick anything up. I'm not great at it though...
As for Lucky760: Windscreen yes, but they are in a safari park, not on the road. I'd sit my little boy on my lap like that too in a safari park. I'm not going to pay a small fortune to take him in and then not see anything!
In the UK they call a windshield a windscreen and they call Mom's lap a carseat.

The difference in terminology is interesting.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV: Nürburgring Nordschleife
Blistering, and more than a little bit twitchy! I think some poo came out around lap time 4:47!
Weird vibration on the straight too, what was that?

Old folks boogie and boogie they will. *quality chair dancin' in front of the laptop [with a kitty in my lap] inspiration right here donchaknow *promote never losing one's youth ... it's all in your mind
Old Guy Gets Stuck In Seatbelt
I think he's through the center of a shoulder-style belt, probably from trying to use it as a lap-only belt and now it has retracted and won't let him loosen it.
Crazy street racing! Peel Kart Race - On Board
It's wind resistance, it makes a massive difference. When they're really far apart the rear driver is just driving better and shaving time off the lead, so he catches up, but once there it's down to drafting to get the little burst of speed to get alongside. The carts are probably approximately equal in power, so he reaches level from the draft position easily enough, but can't keep the momentum to get a lead with the new air resistance on him, just draw level. So they're level, but obviously there's only one sweet racing line to take to keep your speed up and lap time down. You can either pass on the outside (in which case you have to go faster into the turn to stay ahead) or the inside (in which case you have to turn sharper at speed to stay ahead) both of which are risky, or you can return safely to the racing line - i.e. not by swerving into him, but by conceding the lead to him and dropping in behind him. If you do that, you take less risk and give yourself the chance to try again because you're in draft position again. He needs to stay as close as he can and find the right place to overtake so that his superior driving can give him the lead into the racing line of the next corner, at which point he gets right of way and the position advantage the lead gives. Sometimes that's not even possible and lead to what some would call boring races (Monaco Grand Prix) where the leader is decided on the first corner and doesn't change unless they crash out.
I'll draw two parallels:
1. DRS in F1 racing, where a tiny part of the tail opens up for a small part of the track, which drastically increases speed and allows for more interesting races because it almost ensures overtaking. You can also see the same application of the racing line and people conceding position or trying to take different lines and spinning out or locking up.
2. In cycling, the commonly quoted figure is that you can save 40% of your energy by drafting behind a leading cyclist. The Tour de France and every other cycling road race is defined by drafting, cos no lone cyclist would ever be able to keep pace with the peloton which 'cycles' riders in and out of the wind-protected bunch throughout a day. This should convince you more as cyclists are not streamlined objects but still offer significant gains. Go and watch a cycling sprint finish - it's a case of whoever gets behind the fastest guy wins by conserving energy in his wake until it's time to burst out alongside and pass.
