F1: What is the Formula 1 summer break like? Rules and restrictions

The demanding Formula 1 calendar resulted in a much-needed break for teams after the Belgian Grand Prix. Unlike the usual intervals between races, this summer break was a 14-day break enforced by the FIA ​​under Article 21.8 of the Formula 1 Sporting Regulations. This break is essential to maintaining a level playing field. By limiting the design, development and production of cars during this period, no team can gain an unfair advantage. This ensures a level playing field when racing resumes. While the break presents challenges for teams eager to improve their results, it also provides a much-needed break for the crew. Formula 1 racing is intense and race-long, so this break is needed to prevent burnout and maintain peak performance. All in all, the summer break is essential to maintaining competitive balance and the health of all those involved in the sport.

4 ways to keep your transmission healthy this summer

Avoid giving your front foot free rein When the sun is shining and the weather is nice, it's tempting to rev the engine and blast down the highway, but this can also be detrimental to your transmission. Stop-and-go traffic is harder on your transmission because you spend a lot of time in lower gears, which tend to have higher revs. That means you're causing the same extra wear and tear with your front foot. Take the pressure off your car's transmission and cruise down the road rather than accelerating. Are you in the habit of checking your engine temperature gauge? If not, make it a new habit. While your car will tell you if the engine temperature is too high, it’s always good to keep an eye on the gauge for subtle changes in engine temperature. That’s because it’s not just your engine health that’s at stake. Your engine and transmission work closely together, so when one overheats, the other…

Suggestions for Summer Windshield Care

A Few Suggestions on Caring for Your Windshield During Summer Heat Your windshield is a vital component of your car, providing both a clear field of vision and a high degree of safety for everyone in your vehicle.

Unfortunately, blistering summer heat can take a terrific toll on your windshield, and given its extreme importance, it only makes good sense to provide it with a little extra care as temperatures begin to soar. High Temperatures and Your Windshield We’re sometimes asked, can heat crack your windshield?
