F1 Frontline with Mark Hughes
Nico Rosberg leads away at the start of the second modern Russian Grand Prix. The German started from pole, but throttle trouble forced him to retire and allowed Mercedes team-mate…
My own preference is for waste to be disposed of, as far as is practicable, as soon as it becomes available ; an engine that warms up quickly but never overheats. This requires either blower air-cooling, which is admittedly not easy to achieve quietly and without power loss, or a large radiator with fan and really capable thermostat. I have yet to encounter a standard thermostat that is large enough to cope, as it should, with unlimited cooling capacity, but it is quite easy to arrange. Fan power-loss at really high revs. could be avoided by a centrifugal deelutcher cutting-out the fan at, say, 4,000 r.p.m.
