Scary, isn't it? I mean... we're fighting for tenths of a second. If your pit crew tweaks something accidentally and adds a bit of drag to a shaft, it could cost you a race, it could cost you the Championship...

Yep, very scary - and the biggest reason (among many others) that I am just not a fan of this years' minibot challenge.
