Not really. It depends on the category. GT500 cars are more powerful than DTM cars, but GT300 cars are not.
I think some people are missing the point when they say it's the spectator's fault, or questioning why the driver should stop, etc.
It's not a matter of whose fault it is. It's a matter of whether a person has a moral or ethical obligation to render assistance when another is injured as a consequence of what the first person was doing -- regardless of whose fault it is.
Consider this scenario: a group of construction workers are working on the side of a road; they have set up all reasonable precautions to make the worksite as safe as possible for passing traffic. A car ploughs into the worksite, smashes into a pole and the occupants are seriously hurt. Should the construction workers render aid to the occupants of the vehicle, even though they had taken all reasonable precautions for traffic safety? Imagine if you are a family member or loved one of the occupants of the vehicle. If you found out that the construction workers merely continued their work without attending to the plight of the injured, what would you think?
Speaking only for myself, I think it's a terrible demonstration of how selfish and heartless we have become as a society if we know that people in our immediate vicinity are serious hurt or in imminent danger of death, that we are able to provide some kind of assistance for them, yet choose to do nothing.

His visor did melt into his face.
The incident happened in 1998 at Fuji. The Porsche driver was Tomohiko Sunako, and the Ferrari driver was Tetsuya Ota. They weren't actually racing; the incident happened during the parade lap when the safety car drove at an excessive pace across the start/stop line then slowed down abruptly.
Ota required facial reconstruction and his right side was partially paralysed. He took the organisers to court and won.
She was a pretty famous actress, although she has faded away in recent years. Best known for her role in Clueless (the movie which popularised that horrible "whatever!" line for teenage girls).
Not if his aggression attracts TV coverage and sponsors.
Not much the driver could have done in that case.
Nein.

I once had a crow smack into my windscreen. Not funny.

Expertise goes where the money goes. If the money is definitely moving East, it is only a matter of time before the expertise moves that way too.

The path to F1 is almost impossible for anyone born outside of Europe or the Americas, no matter how talented you are. Japan was the only exception until the recent withdrawal of both manufacturers.
Thankfully there is still rally, touring cars, and other categories.
There is still the GP2 Asia series during the winter:

I'm hoping Christian Vietoris will take the title.

I hope he doesn't return. Retired drivers should stay... retired.
Get someone new, like Kobayashi.
I'd love to see Rosberg paired up with another Japanese. Nakajima has shown himself to be of lower quality, so chuck Kamikaze into the mix!

The idea behind it is not to replace desktop operating systems in general, but to create an operating system for cloud computing for users who don't use their computer for much else other than browsing the web and communicating via email. A lot of office workers would fall into this category.
Chrome OS isn't the only piece of Google's cloud system. There is also the Google App Engine, which is intended to power the next generation of web-applications.
Funnily enough, the "cloud" thing makes me think back to the days of dumb terminals and mainframes.

It won't change much. The sale is only for a minority stake, and Williams and Head will still be the ones in control.
Crashes are fun until they happen to you.
Some of those looked really nasty!Many close calls for the cameramen too!
They won't really have any perceptible influence on the car. They could help to improve the car through the season, but that actually requires Ferrari to begin the season with a car that has enough potential for development.
Single-player race results not saved after replay
The bug: If a user views the replay of a single-player race immediately after completion of the race, the race results are not saved (ie. the finishing order is not retained when the user exits the replay.
To reproduce the bug:
To reproduce the bug:
- Run a single-player race against the AI.
- Just after the race finishes, hit ESC and click View Replay.
- During or after the end of the replay, hit ESC and exit the replay.
- See the grid order in the single-player menu. The order should be the same as the result of the race, but it isn't. Instead, the order will be the same as the order prior to the start of the race.

His career may well be over.
The frustrating thing about Toyota F1 is that if Toyota's head honchos in Japan let the team do its own thing, they probably would have fared better. They are victims of micro-management, IMHO.
THAT's a race track?! Obviously not approved by the FIA.
It's almost like they're street racing.
