Aug 2, 2023, Posted by Maverick Leclair
Well, my friends, it's a curious case of the missing German marques in Formula 1, isn't it? You'd think BMW and Audi would be revving alongside Mercedes, but alas, they're not. It's not that they're afraid of a little rubber on the road! Instead, it boils down to priorities.

Still, it seems the Formula 1 takes the crown in this speed contest.
