Third and final morning in London. I bought breakfast from the same lovely place as the previous days and spoke for a couple of minutes with, what I assume were, the owners. We packed our stuff and then left the apartment at 10 to get to The Formula 1 Exhibition, the final item on our agenda. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Like most of the places we had been to in London, it took about 45 minutes to get there. They had lockers which we had verified were big enough for our luggage so after putting them into storage we entered the exhibition. Martin and H\u00e5kan had booked a run in the simulator, Fastest lap and they got encouraged to begin with that since they expected more people later on and currently, there was no line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So they jumped into their respective seats and took off. Once or twice (perhaps more…) the sign “Invalidated lap time – left the track” was shown. But they did great, a flaw in the programming made the result shown for just a couple of seconds so we are not quite sure who was the fastest. Everyone is a winner! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We continued into the exhibition itself and watched items, pictures, and videos from the history of Formula 1. How the format, money, interest, and not the least, technology have evolved over time. It’s quite impressive how a Formula 1 car works and how many different components combined can allow such great speeds and so much control. And at the same time keep the drives safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was one segment talking about the accident where Romain Grosjean<\/a> crashed in Bahrain 2020. A small miracle, helped with technological safety features made it possible for Roman to survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
