I'm continually amazed by batteries. The three AA lithium batteries in my small weather station have been working for nearly three years.

Yes, but they did not do it in under 44 million. They spent a lot of time in testing and that needs to be reduced. Tires were not changed to both compounds. And obviously hospitality was too expensive.

Watching the whole race was probably more exciting than at least a couple of GPs I can think of.
Really amazing, but did the thing really have to look like a teletubby on a toddler's bike?!!!
