  • He said " inspired by Lewis Hamilton" because of lewis hamilton this guy decided to look deeper into formula 1 and do a little research and hes showing you what Lewis and the field would experience. Its not a big ddeal.

  • Ah - yes, that is true. However, if we are to take that law and apply it to everything, it means 'weight' would only be true in a vertical sense. We know this is not the case, as, if you lay sideways, you weigh just as much as if you stood up and can still feel that weight. Do you see how I've qualified "weight"?

  • @RebelliousLeader1995

    ...And pooey bodykits for cars

  • The title is misleading. Where exactly did you show how Lewis does it?

  • hahahaha

  • @thelawenforcer001 You're confusing the perception of weight vs. force—get thrown sideways, and you will feel the weight of your body against whatever you're braced on (ie. the shoulder-bolsters in an F1 seat.)

  • right, but thats not the incorrect part. Its when he says that it affects the drivers weight that hes mistaken. That would require 5'g through the vertical axis (like jet pilots) whereas cornering forces are through the horizontal axis and thus dont affect his weight.
