The world of Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and stands as a benchmark of aerodynamic engineering. As a result, F1 is regularly used as a comparison to developments in other sports. Whenever there appears to be an excess in technology, analogies to F1 appear as a way to decipher whether or not the advancement is innovation or an overstep.
In the case of athletics, there have been a number of comparisons to F1 since the introduction of Nike’s VaporFly technology. Even Eluid Kipchoge, the fastest marathoner on the planet and the VaporFly flagbearer had some bizarre comments regarding Pirelli tyres and World Champion Lewis Hamilton:
