Why is achieving the fastest lap at the Monaco Grand Prix particularly challenging compared to other circuits?

Because the circuit is the longest on the calendar, requiring more endurance than speed. Because the weather at Monaco is usually rainy, making the track slippery and unpredictable. Because the circuit has tight corners and narrow streets, making high-speed laps difficult and precision crucial.

Automobile Drag Coefficient

Mercedes-Benz EQS sets record with the lowest drag coefficient of 0.20 in production cars

5 hours ago

Why is achieving a low drag coefficient particularly important for electric vehicles compared to traditional combustion engine cars?

Because reducing aerodynamic drag directly improves electric vehicle range by lowering energy consumption at higher speeds. Because electric vehicles do not require aerodynamic design due to their electric motors. Because drag coefficient only affects the top speed of electric vehicles, not their efficiency.
