Update: sorry to be an OP who didn’t deliver. My buddy never made the measurement. I’m hoping he will. Sorry everyone!

I mean it did (brakes) in Australia, that was cool
This is all I found on their site about it, which aligns but isn’t as much detail as I hoped
With standard and heavy duty foil, it’s perfectly fine to place your food on either side so you can decide if you prefer to have the shiny or dull side facing out.
Okay, my buddy is gonna take foil tomorrow and run it over the profilometer (?) tomorrow and see. I’ll report back with more numbers and less hand waving when I have it
It was a fair few years ago, but yeah, the oxidation on it will be so much smoother than the delta in surface roughness that I doubt it’d make much difference. Lemme reach out to a metallurgist from there and see what he thinks!
Correct. Just a manufacturing decision. It looks a lot more different than it actually is.
Yup, the lab could tell a difference! Shiney side (so mill roller facing, as opposed to the dull side which faces the other layer of aluminum) was marginally more reflective, but I believe (and a former coworker also remembered it as) it was less than a tenth of a percent (<0.1% for the visual folks)
Anyone who says it affects cooking time or something is mistaken, I’d wager.
Former process engineer in an aluminum factory. Aluminum foil is only shiny on one side and duller on the other for process reasons, not for any “turn this part towards baking, etc” reasons.
It’s just easier to double it on itself and machine it to double thickness than it is to hit single thickness precision, especially given how much more tensile strength it gives it.
Also, our QA lab did all kinds of tests on it to settle arguments. The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small. But if you like one side better you should wrap it that way, for sure!
Just played it. It’s indeed short but fun. I enjoyed it enough to wishlist it
That was a fun hot ones. Struggled, but sent it anyway. Nothing to promote or sell. Some fun anecdotes. I liked it! Hope more F1 drivers get to go on the show.
That is an amazingly bad worst format, I absolutely love it.
I like the idea of running a full tire rainbow (at least the 3, maybe C2-C5 instead) in a race. Lots of pits, lots of out and in laps. You can decide how hard you want to push cold and new tires, with some steady laps between
Russell missed out by a millisecond, wild. Great qualifying session, dang
Yup! That’s what I was thinking of. I’m almost certainly wrong but I was under the impression that they couldn’t prove it because they didn’t have a like for like DRS actuator mount, but that could’ve been the potential way out of the DQ if they had
Like I said, probably wrong and misremembering
Wow, Charles has only converted 4 poles? That’s surprisingly low to me. The car has been faster in quali than race for years and he’s a great qualifier, but still
Unless it was a parts failure that happened on track, I believe, and you had a like for like that wasn’t. It would be interesting to know by how much it was over, but almost certainly a DQ if that’s true
It’s honestly just such an insane start to a career. The Australia 2007 race start, and the pre race “this is hype, this kid is going places” is super cool. Passing the WDC on the opening lap was great foreshadowing.
I said this a lot, it’d be like if a rookie came to red bull last year and passed max into turn 1 and almost beat him for the whole season. Just otherworldly
A return to Williams seems like such a good fit
Man, that move to Merc looked sooooo dumb from the outside, and it was obviously one of (or the) best F1 career move there’s ever been.
If he gets that right twice, Ham is 100% the goat of career management
Wow, this is wild.
Go to Williams you coward!
The Hans Zimmer anthem was a banger!
