To clean a silencer it has to be burned

"Admittedly, there are those who burn used and encrusted silencers. However, this is not the best solution: the high temperature bakes the metal and it loses its mechanical properties, thereby also decreasing engine efficiency. The preferred method is to always use a new exhaust or use specific acids that can scrape away any unburned oil. Obviously, racers prefer to change the silencer".

"Speed is not lost, only concentration. Team managers tell the drivers that they are ‘wasting time’, especially the younger and less experienced drivers, but it's just a way to get them to make fewer mistakes. Tests were carried out in the past and the differences were absolutely negligible. Probably, in theory, if an entire lap were done with the driver’s head turned, there might be a slight disadvantage due to poor aerodynamics caused by the driver’s chest being higher and turned. However, in real conditions no time is lost".

"It's false. But, of course, only when comparing tubes with the same thickness and mechanical characteristics. A chassis made using 32 mm tubes has a higher flexural modulus, which makes the frame stiffer. If, however, materials with different mechanical characteristics are used, it is possible to produce a 30 mm chassis with the same stiffness as a 32 mm one, and vice versa. It is a useful characteristic if, for example, a manufacturer has an approved chassis built using 30 mm tubes, but needs to achieve the same performance as one using 32 mm ones".
