i have to give credit to whom i think these thoughts came from. i believe i first heard this idea of the leak from ron martoia a bunch of years ago at a conference. much thanks to him for first putting this into my spirit. i then took the basic principles of that teaching & condensed it down for a student leadership camp & added a few extra pieces
"we teach what we know, we reproduce who we are."
-John Maxwell
The Leak Defined…
The Leak is the thing that flows out of us when we are not looking…
#1 we all leak [it cannot be contained]
#2 leaking cannot be faked or fabricated long-term
#3 the leak of one can have impact, but the leak of the group impacts more
"the leak is more profound and pervasive than anything we teach."
-ron martoia
"those positive attributes, actions, or attitudes that you model in EXCESS, those who follow you will perform in moderation.
conversely, those negative attributes, actions, or attitudes that you model even in moderation, those who follow you will perform in EXCESS."
-Kurt & Lori Salierno
"remember your leaders, consider their way of life & imitate their faith."
-Hebrews 13:7
this is an issue of discipleship & leading others.

THE Shut (Modern) STANCE I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with using an open stance, but I also believe that when we solid a surf rod, unlike when we toss a ball, we don't bend at the waist to produce leverage and power. Instead, we rotate our hips as a lot as feasible, like a batter hitting a ball or a boxer throwing a punch. If my still left foot, therefore, is ahead I will not be in a position to fully rotate my hips and get all my excess weight into the cast. Therefore, I favor to use a closed stance: My right foot is in front of my still left. At first, this will probably really feel uncomfortable for numerous casters, but with time, I believe it will become more comfy.Hickory wood is utilized in making sporting goods, such as Zenaq rods Reviews, baseball bats, drum sticks, bow creating, and laminates for tennis racquets. It is a great wooden for instrument handles, like hammers, hatchets, picks, and axes. It is also used for cupboards, furniture, strolling canes, ladders, plywood faces, and veneers.

Individuals also use hickory wood chips to smoke meals to include flavor.Plummet is a type of excess weight which is generally utilized alongside with the hook for dashing up the rate at which the hook sinks.

The spouse died and was buried sporting one of her numerous new attire. When the husband died, he was buried with one of his new zenaq rods.Individually I've spent a significant dollars on these so called wonder methods and to be truthfulnone have delivered anyplace close to my wishes. Fairly probably I was not utilizing the advice properly or making a simple error, I'm not truly sure. One thing I am sure of though is that the advertising strategy I am heading to display you functions. In fact on the fourth day of utilizing this technique I had 135 visitors to my website and on day five 152.Reducing your Google AdWords cost doesn't imply just investing less on AdWords. First you have to understand how Google AdWords functions - and from that you can make modifications to improve your AdWords overall performance - with out spending much more money.Next you'll require a PFD, or personal flotation gadget. Again don't leap for the least expensive version here. Over all else look for ease and comfort, simply because if you purchase a cheap PFD that's uncomfortable to wear, you probably gained't put on it. And what great is that? Also look at fishing PFD's, which have pockets that make kayak fishing much simpler.Over the final 2000 many years humans have utilized many techniques of archery, fishing and hunting in order to discover meals. More than that time, fly fishing has become noticed by many anglers as the important technique of fishing necessitating ability, patience and stealth.

The time you spend with dad, the words you put in the personal card these two issues might be much much more important than any gift. Personally I like the hugs. Pleased Father's Day!I know men are hard to purchase for, they like the very best tools and the very best Zenaq rods Reviews and some the very best beer. My thoughts are to remain absent from them and look at what fantastic add-ons you can find to go with what he has now. Now if he need a new drill or sander then it is Okay to find him a good bard instrument , however there are now hundreds of fantastic products that go with the main tools and this makes it very simple to find that perfect father's day present. If dad is a golfer the sky is the limit. Printed golf balls or good publications on golf or right here is a new present concept, how about a golf hypnosis CD. He gained't see that gift coming. I heard that Tiger Woods uses hypnosis and rest to perform his fantastic games of golf.Medium action rods are great for general purpose and will develop a slower much more comfy style of casting. Because the motion generates power more than the leading fifty percent of the rod it follows that the solid will have a deeper loop to it, giving much more manage more than issues. It will keep the leader and flies absent from the reduce component of the line as it is being solid, so issues aren't as likely to get all tangled up mid cast. This is a a lot simpler and much more comfortable fishing style and I would suggest it for the newbie.

The man suspected in the murder of an elderly couple in Renton is believed to have barricaded himself at a motel in Lincoln City, Oregon.
Authorities say they are negotiating with a suspect they believe to be Michael "Chad" Boysen, 26, who barricaded himself inside a room at the WestShore Oceanfront Suites, where a clerk reportedly spotted Boysen and alerted authorities.
Boysen is the leading suspect in the murder of his grandparents. They had picked him up when he was released from a prison sentence, and offered him a room for the night. He is suspected of killing the couple, age 80, and 82, and then stealing their car.
Some rooms in the motel have been evacuated, and streets have been blocked off.
"He's not wanting to come out. He checked in using his correct name, and his driver's license, so we suspect it's one and the same," Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian told KATU TV.
Kilian says a night clerk at the hotel told police they recognized Michael "Chad" Boysen from a morning news report.
"She checked the hotel registration and thought, 'My God, he checked in last night.'" he said.
The bodies were discovered by their daughter on Saturday evening. They had been killed late Friday night or early Saturday morning. Police are not revealing the method of their deaths, but reported gunshot was not the reason.
It is not believed that Boysen was armed when he left their home. Authorities believe he was searching for gun shows across the Northwest, and Nevada.
Boysen had been in prison since 2006 on three robbery convictions in King County, said Judy Feliciano of the state Corrections Department.
Boysen's grandparents had fixed up a room in their home for him to sleep in his first night out of prison, West said. Boysen was planning to stay elsewhere after that.
"We are at a loss as to why he killed them," Urquhart said. "We don't know what the motive is."
The standoff continues. Police negotiators have been talking to him for several hours this morning.

The much-awaited trailer of the fourth instalment of Avengers, Avengers: End Game has finally arrived and it is shrouded in mystery following Marvel Studio's cliffhanger ending to Avengers: Infinity War.
The trailer opens with a message from Iron man in space. "Part of the journey is the end," he says. It, then, continues to find Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow scrambling for a way to defeat Thanos (Josh Brolin), who "wiped out 50 per cent of all living creatures" and destroyed the Avengers with the help of the Infinity Stones.
Avengers: Endgame stars a stellar star cast which includes, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Josh Brolin, and Chris Pratt.
Avengers 4 also marks the final film within the Marvel Cinematic Universes current generation. It comprises 22 films, including Spider-Man: Homecoming and the upcoming Captain Marvel. It will also be the last Marvel movie for some key actors, including Chris Evans, who seemed to bid farewell to his character, Captain America, earlier this year on Twitter.
Avengers 4 is directed by Avengers: Infinity War filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo. The film is set to hit the screen on May 3, 2019.

Matthew Scudder is an alcoholic. Above all else, ex-cop, unlicensed private eye, ex-husband, father, that's what he is. A highly functioning alcoholic, yes. When the Sacred Ginmill Closes starts with Scudder drinking at an after-hours bar called Morrissey's ("The legal closing hour for bars in the city of New York is 4:00 a.m., but Morrissey's was an illegal establishment and was thus not bound by regulations of that sort"). Two masked gunmen break in and knock over the joint; taking the cashbox on the counter, another box in a safe, even a collection jar for IRA loyalists. Scudder agrees to help the Morrisseys, a drinking buddy ("Telephone Tommy") accused of killing his wife, and his old bartender Skip who is being blackmailed after the honest books from his bar is stolen.
Scudder is a unique character in many ways. Even though he takes on three cases, he seems to half-ass his way though all but Skip's. While he's technically an unlicensed PI, he considers himself just a guy who does favors for friends for money. His top priority is finding enough cash to get his next drink.
Another thing that sets him apart is how he solves the case(s). While other PI's would show you how the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fit together, Scudder isn't quite sure how he knows what he knows. But if you look back (there's an early conversation with the blackmailers with a huge clue), you can see that author Lawrence Block has put all the pieces there for you to find. In fact, there are big clues to character motivations in the first three pages.
This shows that Block is a master at the top of his game. He sets up all these things you "know" that when the ending comes, it seems perfectly obvious without being telegraphed. It's a subtle, sneaky book.
It's full of little interesting character moments, too. Throughout the book, Scudder stops in at various churches across New York and slips a good chunk of his earnings into the poor box. He's not pious, he even explains that he sometimes just sits quietly in the pew for a few minutes not thinking of anything, and it seems more out of habit than anything. But it's a telling character trait.
One of the great through lines of the entire Scudder series is his descent into alcoholism and his struggles with sobriety (he decides to get clean in book #5 Eight Million Ways to Die). There's a fun sequence late in the book where Scudder takes stock and tries to figure out how sauced he was the night before:
It was no use. I couldn't remember anything after I'd assured Skip that Frank and Jesse were living on borrowed time. Maybe I went home right away, maybe I sat drinking with him until dawn. I had no way of knowing. [...]My door was bolted. That was a good sign. I couldn't have been in too bad shape if I'd remembered to bolt the door. On the other hand, my pants were tossed over the chair. It would have been better if they'd been hung in the closet. Then again, they weren't in a tangled heap on the floor, nor was I still wearing them. The great detective, sifting clues, trying to figure out how bad he'd been last night.
Another different thing about Ginmill is that the resolution of the cases doesn't seem like the most important thing, but rather what the various characters do with the information and the repercussions of those actions. In this way, Scudder bridges the gap between the classic PI and its more modern incarnation.
I'd never read a Scudder novel before, but I didn't feel lost despite this being the sixth book in the series. I'm probably going to pick around in the series (seeing which books get high marks), but I'm definitely going to read more Block.
Even if you're not a crime fan, this one is worth the read.
The title When the Sacred Ginmill Closes comes from the Dave Van Ronk song "Last Call", which appears a couple times in the book. Consider this your second song of the week:

Excellent!! HOTT!! Thanks for postin!! Please post more with that sexy man!!!!

You could try your local adult store, the people there are always more than willing to help you and walk you through everything or if that's not an option then if you feel comfortable you could ask your friends if/what they use. What it really comes down to is personal preference on things, but yes a quick guide to your first vibrator would be very helpful!

She had only heard gunshots at a distance. They were the loud cracks that stopped time. Everyone's attention whipped towards the sound until the moment would pass and people returned to their lives, but for that second everything paused.
The more Tei thought about it, she wasn't sure they were always gunshots. After all, cars backfired, unwatched children set off fireworks, and their apartment nestled itself between towering factories that made all sorts of noises. But the effect was the same. Her mother's spine straitened, shoulders moving back with readiness. Her father's hand would twitch towards the nearest family member while her brother winced. And then, after the hum of their apartment or street rushed back to fill the void the lurid pop left, life returned and people breathed again.
This time, Tei felt the shot reverberate through her hands up into her ears. He collapsed, legs folding under him. The second stretched on. Time didn't start again. The shot stayed in her ears, he stayed on the ground. She lowered the gun, no one breathed.
A short piece this week but not even Graduate School can curb my crime spree! This line was stolen from Nine Pages. Check out the original and see the rest of thieves over at the Legal Theft Project.

We are licensed
The mortgage industry is regulated by the industry bodies MFAA and FBAA, with a Code of Practice that requires high professional standards, fair business practices, ethical behaviour and compliance with laws and regulations.
New national regulation for the credit industry, including mortgage advisers, commenced in July 2010 (known as the National Consumer Credit Protection Act), bringing the regulation of residential investment property under the control of ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission).
By law mortgage advisers have to practice "responsible lending", which means extending credit that is unsuitable to the needs and financial capacity of the consumer is an offence.
We are honest
It's standard industry practice for mortgage advisers to be remunerated by lenders and receive commission on the loans we settle. This puts us in the position to be able to negotiate with a range of lenders and mortgage providers on your behalf to find the best situation for you.
We are up front about the fees associated with our service and we will happily provide client testimonials.
We offer premium advice, service and support
It is our job to advise, educate and help you to meet your financial needs. We are well versed in financial services, have years of market experience and a wealth of market knowledge.
Combined with this expertise is the personal commitment we make to our clients to listen and respond to their needs. We care about our clients and thrive on keeping you happy and being available when you need us most.
We recently had a client who told us "you made this so easy for us - I couldn't have done it without you."
It's feedback like this - from a happy client - that reminds us why we became mortgage advisers and why we love our job!

Mamas, let's get real. You're already doing enough multitasking as it is right now. You need one great beauty product that has tons of different uses. You have to get your hands on some Rosewater. Here's why:
-It sets your make-up. Mist right after make-up is applied.
-It moisturizes your hair. Spray on clean wet hair and comb through just like a leave-in conditioner.
-It's a cleansing aid. Throw it in your gym bag and spray it on your stinky pits after you hit the treadmill. Or just spray it all over your body if you haven't showered in a few days. I personally use this "mommy bath" technique often.
-It's a sensitive skin tonic. Add to your bathwater.
-It's a dry skin tonic. Spray on your sexy body after you get out of the shower while skin is still damp.
-It's great for your complexion. Mix with lavender or tea tree oil and spray directly on your face to prevent and treat break-outs.
-It helps prevent razor burn. Spray on your coochie after you get out of the shower if you don't want those nasty little red bumps from shaving your bikini area too quickly.
-It's aromatherapy. Rose scents are known to alleviate depressive tendencies and rosewater is believed to raise your energy to a higher vibration. If you believe in that shit (and I totally do,) spray directly on your face when you need a little pick-me-up. (I personally use this technique every damn day!)
Disclaimer: If this beauty tip doesn't work for you, too bad! A true MOTY hardly has time to perfect her own look, let alone care about yours.

Formula 1 racing is unlike any motorsport you've ever seen. You may think the WeatherTech series racecars are gnarly (which they are), but no other racing comes close to the physical anomalies that Formula 1 racecars produce on a regular basis!
NASCAR is a big deal, whether you like it or not, and we love all forms of motor racing. But although we have a very soft spot in our hearts for the many stock cars, drivers, teams, and sponsors that make it all happen, it's honestly amateur hour compared to a day in the life of a Formula 1 racecar.
That's an all-encompassing statement, also! Sure, Top Fuel Funny Cars may be some of the fastest accelerating cars on the planet but that's all they do! No offense funny cars, we love you too, but the engineering that goes into a Formula car could very well put a man on Mars.
Formula cars aren't the best-performing cars in any one aspect, save for cornering and braking maybe. Other racecars can race a lot longer and some go a lot faster; but how many racecars constantly run (for hours at a time) with enough energy to shoot a piston 300 feet into the sky? How does one actually engineer 18,000 RPM into high-strength alloy components, components that can not only shoot the car around the racetrack at break-neck speeds but do so with the constant pressure of the extreme drag induced by ridiculous aerodynamics? There are none!
This modern marvel of technical engineering is indeed a special one—and a multi-billion dollar one. It's a HUGE industry and to make it all happen, there are some things that the Formula 1 bosses just don't want you do know about! Like how are Formula 1 teams the world's absolute best cheaters? Or how a Formula car can rip a manhole right out of the ground? Have you ever wondered how many gallons of water are actually displaced by those tires in wet conditions? The answers will break your brain, we promise!
20 They're The Best Cheaters In The World
NASCAR may be credited with coy rule-bending such as fuel in the frame rails and basketballs in the fuel cells, but no motorsport comes as close to engineering perfection as Renault's active mass damper. It was essentially pre-cheating because it wasn't outlawed until it was already in use, but the bigwigs started wagging fingers at it when it made cars too good! It was basically a weight, suspended by springs in the nose, absorbing vibrations and bumps, thus allowing the car to maintain a more positive contact patch with the road beneath it.
19 Just How Expensive Are Those Engines
You're looking at a third-tier Formula motor, falling behind both Ferrari and Mercedes, but that doesn't make it any more affordable for you, peasant! Engines can cost upwards of $8 million dollars and are the epitome of what an internal combustion engine can be (for $8 million, it had better be an epitome!). It's the most expensive part on the entire racecar, and it's got more mind-boggling technology wrapped up in those six cylinders than a space station would know what to do with!
18 So, How Long Do Formula 1 Engines Last?
Formula engines last two races! They don't necessarily explode like a grenade when they fire it up on the third race, but Formula 1 stipulates how often a driver may use a new engine; that number is eight per championship season. If there are 20 races in a season, the math works out to an engine needing to last at least 2.5 races, lest the offending race team be penalized 10 positions on the starting grid for two races. So, while they may have additional life left in them, Formula teams are inclined to keep it fresh every few races—if they like winning!
17 Some Of The Hardest Wrecks Come From Formula 1
One of the most underrated Formula 1 drivers in history has, perhaps, had the most interesting life of them all. David Purley survived a 10,000-foot free-fall when his parachute failed to deploy on an RAF jump. He would also survive a 108-mph collision with a barrier when the throttle of his CRP1 Formula car stuck open, halting the car completely within in 26 inches. This subjected his body to an incredible 179.8 G! It took an hour and a half to free him from his car with a shattered body but he would survive to race again. The car he crashed would eventually be restored in his honor (above).
16 How Much Fuel Are These Things Sucking Down?
Because of the complex engineering that goes into Formula 1 engines, they are designed to run only at extremely high outputs: driving a Formula on the streets would only give you about 30 horsepower! Although they operate at a much higher efficiency than your standard automobile, they need wide-open conditions to thrive! Formula fuel is mandated around 100kg/hr, which is approximately 0.8L per second! (Formula calculates in mass rather than volume.) If lap times average one minute and 30 seconds each, fuel consumption of 15 liters per lap could be assumed (four gallons per lap)! Fuel costs are estimated around a $450,000/year.
15 How Much Do They Spend On Tires?
Pirelli replaced Bridgestone as Formula 1's tire producer in 2011. In the process, they were asked by the powers that sanction the races to create a compound that would force teams to pit more frequently, thus mixing up the predictability of the outcome. Because of this viewer pandering, Formula 1 tires are extremely delicate and are very sensitive to temperature changes. So sensitive, in fact, that pit crews warm them up before being installed on the car with specialized blankets! All of this engineering and apparatus adds up quickly, but the bare tires themselves cost around $650 each (which translates up to $300,000 in tires per season).
14 How Much Does Owning A Race Team Really Cost?
A NASCAR team can incur $15 million in operational expenses annually. Formula 1 blows NASCAR down the road like a stray leaf: Red Bull Racing spent $264 million in 2016! Hass, one of the most frugal spenders, clocked in at $116 million for the same year! Obviously, the threshold varies widely, but Formula cars aren't cheap and there are no two ways around it! With $8 million engines, $675,000 carbon fiber monocoque chassis, $170,000 nose cones, $165,000 hydraulic systems, $110,000 fuel tanks, and $50,000 steering wheels, we've only built half the racecar! (Ferrari, a top spender, infused nearly $430 million into their 2016 Formula team!)
13 How Dangerous Is Formula 1 Racing
It's really a two-fold answer. On one hand, Kimi Raikkonen hit a wall at 150 miles per hour, sustaining a 47 G deceleration on impact, only to limp away with minor injuries. That's nothing like David Purley's crash, but the cars are still exceedingly safe. Formula racing is also excessively dangerous so the balance between the two variables chewed up a lot of human lives in the formative days of Formula racing! 52 drivers have perished since 1952 (32 during race weekends); fifteen drivers in the 1950s, fourteen in the 1960s, 12 in the 1970s, four in the 1080s, and two in the 1990s. So it's getting a whole lot safer but at the end of the day, it's still racing!
12 The Hill Conspiracy
There's a conspiracy aloft around the Formula 1 circuits and we don't' like it one bit! We can't put our fingers on it but it stinks worse than the sushi you forgot in the back of your refrigerator for three months. The fact is, though, no racer with the surname "Hill" has ever failed to win a Formula 1 World Championship! Graham Hill was a two-time Formula 1 World Champion and would be the only driver to with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, and Monaco Grand Prix. His son would also later win a Formula 1 title. And an unrelated Phil Hill would secure a championship in Formula racing, as well, in 1978!
11 Only One Woman Has Ever Scored Championship Points In Formula 1
In 1975, Lella Lombardi would climb out of her Formula car after a sixth-place finish at the Spanish Grand Prix, probably glad she was toward the front of the pack but upset that she hadn't done better. That mediocre day for her would go down in racing history—little beknownst to her at the time—as a milestone for women in the sport. She was a pioneer, especially in her day, and this race would earn her the distinction of being the only female ever to score points in a championship event! Had she had the support of better sponsorship and a better car as a result, could she have done better? Probably.
10 Women Are Coming Up No Matter What
This Spanish driver, Carmen Jorda, was a development driver for the Renault Formula 1 Team from 2015 to2017, making her the 11th woman in history to be on a Formula roster in a driving position. She's done plenty of other racing in her career, starting out in karting until eventually progressing to Spanish Formula 3 in 2007. Not satisfied, she continued to move forward, despite the natural opposition you could expect for a woman in this calling. She made the transition from test driver to circuit racer in 2010 when she signed with Anderson Racing to participate in the Firestone Indy Lights Series!
9 We're Not Kidding About The Cheating
We're not kidding when we say they're enterprising with their workarounds! When Formula 1 outlawed flexible wing sections that allowed a reduction in drag under high pressure due to deflection of said wing, McLaren engineered a solution that we still can't quite figure out today. From what we can speculate, there's a special duct that the driver can block with his knee while on straightaways. This vent affects airflow over the rear wing through internal ductwork but due to the nature of the design, breaks no regulations and creates high downforce in the corners and low drag on straightaways, just like they like it.
8 McLaren Can't Win, No Matter What
November of 2017 marked the 19 year anniversary of McLaren's title drought. At the estimated costs of racing outlined above, not winning for two decades can have an absolutely awful effect on the race team's bottom line. It wasn't entirely their fault, however. They were the last Formula 1 manufacturer to win a championship before Ferrari would rip through the 2000s with five consecutive wins during the decade. That final race was a highlight for McLaren, obviously, but the hard-racing Ferraris were showing their horns and would soon dominate everything with a wing and four wheels.
7 Formula Cars Can Stick To Anything (In Theory)
Many people try to debunk this theory with an apples to oranges hypothetical situation that overshoots the magic of the spirit in which the observation was made. The numbers are solid, we think: if Formula 1 cars can generate 3.5 G around corners, they should be able to stick to a ceiling. This is due to the aerodynamics that plaster them to the road. If that same downforce is applied to an inverted racecar, at full speed, it should be able to drive upside down, right? People like to throw assumptions at this theory, like fluid transfer and engine design. Of course, it wouldn't technically work! The cars aren't engineered to run upside down. Most airplanes can't fly upside down either, by that logic, (but most of them really can, just not well).
6 Formula Cars Drive On The Absolute Brink Of Disaster
We get so used to watching these things swing around hairpins like slot cars that we forget they are actual machines; it's the detachment between what we understand motors to be able to endure and what they actually can endure. Most of us are used to a redline of around 6,000 RPM that we don't even know what the vibrations from an engine turning 18,000 RPM feel like! (It's smoother than you'd think.) As bullet-proof as they may seem, catastrophic failure is always right around the corner. A piston, detached from the rod at full engine speed (without the obstruction of the components above it) would have enough kinetic energy to shoot 300 feet into the sky.
5 It's Almost Too Easy
The fastest Formula 1 pit stop ever recorded was 1.920 seconds in the 2016 European Grand Prix by Team Williams—but it was hardly an anomaly. In 2013, at the U.S. Grand Prix, Mark Webber's Red Bull Racing Team would pound him out in only 1.923 seconds. In 2013, Fernando Alonso's Ferrari team would slam him back into the race in 1.950 seconds. Again, in 2013 (in Malaysia), Mercedes' 2.31-second record was bested by the Infinity Red Bull Racing Team, pumping Mark Webber back into the flow of traffic in just 2.05 seconds. NASCAR can only do this with a "splash and go" which means no tires get changed.
4 It's Not Easy At All!
Formula racing is some of the most abusive racing a driver can sustain and (sometimes) survive. An impact at 160 MPH (like in the case of Heikki Kovalainen's Spain incident) causes a declarative force of 26 G (nothing compared to what we've been looking at). But what happens to his insides? His rib cage is strapped in, but what about what's inside the ribcage? Or the head? Formula 1 drivers are athletes; they have to be. Jensen Button proved this when he completed an Olympic triathlon in 2 hours and 22 minutes. The Olympic record for this event is 1:48:24!
3 How Big Is Formula 1?
Formula 1 is BIG! You don't think Ferrari spends almost $500 million a year for no reason, do you? Formula 1 is primarily based in Europe, with only half of the races taking place around the world—but they're all over the world! The copious spending causes a significant economic impact by nature of its existence, not only in a job creation aspect but in an economically stimulating aspect, as well. (Think of all the people that support the Formula operations: airlines, hotels, food catering, amenities, etc.) Don't forget about the fans! All that revenue! When Formula 1 changed ownership in 2017, it was reportedly an $8 billion deal!
2 Formula Cars Are Hardly Cars At All
Sure, we call it Formula "Car" racing, but is it really car racing? Let's take a brief look at the craziness that is a Formula 1 racecar and you can decide if that falls in the "car" category or the "not car" category. The brake disks reach the same temperature as molten lava under heavy braking. Braking force is hard enough to squirt liquid from a driver's tear ducts onto his visor. Drivers endure more g-forces than astronauts. Finally, before the Monaco Grand Prix, manhole covers need to be welded down to prevent the low-pressure area under the cars from ripping them out of place during the race.
1 They Really Aren't Cars At All
If that's not convincing enough, consider this fun water fact! Formula 1 cars, while driving in wet conditions, can displace up to 66 gallons of water per second (filling up your large bathtub up in less than 2 seconds—per car!). Multiply that by the number of cars in a typical race circuit (20), and then by the number of seconds in a 90-minute race (5,400), and the numbers are mind-numbing! During a race, each car displaces approximately 356,000 gallons of water. A 20-car grid, during the same timeframe, would displace 7 million gallons throughout the race! Ever seen a car do any of that?
