Nico got the wrong idea when Ross Brawn said that they weren’t achieving their goals on a regular basis.

“So I kick the ball as hard as I can, and the sensors inside it register the hit, which then sends a message to the computer, and the computer tells me how hard I can hit something measured in Maldonados.”

Brawn: “While working on a device was meant to control the gravity around our car, we found other fun and interesting uses for it. Notice the blue cable connected to Nico’s belt… when set to INVERTED mode, the gravity zone around the subject is lessened to the point where it is possible for the subject (and objects within close proximity – Brawn points to the ball) to essentially float for a short while. Nico will demonstrate”.

“The Innovations made by Petronas will, in the future, make it possible to store the F1 cars in a sphere the size of a ball used for football. Then, Mercedes can get more cash by letting the FA use the ball for this season’s FA cup final, before racing it at Silverstone.”
