Buttons tend to be used for 'on/off' functions, such as engaging the pit-lane speed limiter system, while rotary controls govern functions with multiple settings, such as the traction control programme, fuel mixture and even the car's front-to-rear brake bias - all functions the driver might wish to alter to take account of changing conditions during the race. Google

There's nothing like getting behind the wheel and stepping on the gas pedal to make you feel like you're part of the action. Google

Before reaching the hill, say you are in the 4th gear doing 55-55 mph and keep the accelerator (gas pedal) pressed down at a constant amount, when you reach the base of the hill if you notice that your RPM drops by more than 250 RMP then it would be time to change to a lower gear, do not press the accelerator down any more, as this would
waist your fuel. Google

After Jan Magnussen and Roberto Moreno bumped on the 86th lap, sending Magnussen crashing into the wall between turns one and two, the yellow flag came out and the field bunched up. Google

A yellow flag was brought out for the incident, all fuel consevation questions were gone, and Montoya's chances of winning the race were shattered. Google

The gap between Michael and Montoya fluctuated between three and five seconds (5.022 at the chequered flag) throughout the race as first one driver, then the other had the upper hand, depending on tyre condition and fuel load. Google

Schumacher produced a flawless drive in front of Ferrari's home fans at Monza to take the chequered flag by five seconds and end a winless run stretching back five races to Canada in June. Google

safety car

safety car, zpomalovací vůz

"I tried to warm the tyres as well as brakes because we knew the safety car was going off," said Schumacher. Google

It was actually very confusing, as we could see a red flag shown, so normally that would mean a restart and then they flew a safety car flag. Google

That brought the safety car out again, seriously undermining Schumacher’s strategy. Google

red flag

Da Matta picked up a drive-through penalty in a blue flag controversy. (Google)

gas-and-go

rychlá zastávka v boxech (sloužící k dotankování)

That meant he had to stop later, and when he made the final trip into the pits, his stop was slower than most because he decided to change all four tires instead of a gas-and-go. (Google)

Before we came in that last time, we took a gas and go (on Lap 130, late in a caution period) that we thought would make up for about six laps that we thought we'd be short. (Google)

Matt Kenseth stayed out, planning a late gas-and-go stop in an effort
to win the race. (Google)

The school was also attractive because we occasionally conduct instrumented testing on the tight Streets of Willow road course, adjacent to the facility's bigger, higher speed track, and the better we know the racing line, the more effective we are at evaluating the vehicles. (Google)
