Besties, we have this new sick moves to learn.

Wasps on my hair.

The dolphin ballerina.

The sassy kangaroo (her signature move)

Searching for my contacts.

Let me hold your anaconda.

The neck stretcher.

And my personal favorite... Killing my migraine with the floor.

Literally, performing art.

It is considered that leaving your braking to the very last minute is important, and I would agree that it is important, but I'd also say that it's where you take the brakes off that matters. Often, if I want to go through a given corner quicker, I don't necessarily put the brakes on any later, but I might not put them on so hard and then I let them off quicker. How you get led into this trap is by going deep into the corner and not braking until the last moment. Doing this you might arrive quicker, but you then tend to brake much harder than you need. It often happens that a driver when trying hard will set up a fast lap then, when told to ease off and relax, will find himself lapping just as quickly. This would appear to indicate that when he was trying he was really over-braking and slowing the car more than he needed.

There is still no clear and sustainable pathway to manage the e-waste generated by EVs. Electric cars are not "green". They still use tyres which create massive waste streams. Tyre wear produces microplastics that end up in our waterways and oceans. Although EVs use regenerative braking, which is better than traditional internal-combustion cars, they still use brake pads when the brakes are applied. Braking generates toxic dust composed of heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium and chromium. These heavy metals make their way to our streams and rivers, embedding themselves in these waterways forever.
