[Shotimes] OT: F1 Slowdown

If you like your screaming 3.0L 1000hp V10 engines, better watch the races
for next year and a half because starting in 2006 the teams will be racing
2.4L V8s.  The catalyst for the move up in timetable by 2 years presumably
is due to the near fatal accident of Ralf Schumacher at Indy.  The impact
was approximately 78Gs in force and broke his back despite wearing the
HANS device.
At Silverstone, the cars are now turning in lap times of 3 seconds faster
than last year, so the continuing development of this technology continues
at a rapid pace.
