    I attended my first F1 race this past weekend and it was awesome. I had a blast and am going to do it again next year.

    I have a few questions from the monaco grand prix:

    1. I saw Michael Schumacher drive an electic bicycle. It was orange and silver. I was not able to take a pic as he was moving pretty fast. Does anyone know what brand/type of bicycle he drives?

    2. Difference between Ferrari and Mercedes: Ferrari drives drove out of the garage into the pitlane and then onto the track. Mercedes drivers were wheeled outsie the garage on trolleys and then they would take off at an angle. It was unique and I am wondering why mercedes launch their cars out of the pits that way?

    1. Sorry, I don't know. :)

    2. Mercedes was possibly laying down some more rubber for better getaways and traction from the pits later.
