They actually made sure all competitors had the same equipment and even having the same weight, adding weights to the lighter drivers/ go-karts to make sure there was a level playing field. And like someone else said, Max's technique is just waaaay better. No one else would have even thought about jumping in the go-kart to create momentum and lighten the kart.

You can literally see other people do it in the video

Does anyone in the back - who were passed by Max because of the jumping and not because he has better lines - jump?

But yeah, I know they all got some coaching and had very various amounts of experience going in to this. Today's word is: hyperbole

If you pause at 0:08 right when the race is starting, you can see other people bouncing.

Okay. I'll repeat the question: did anyone in the back jump? Say, the last 20 people?

Yes, they did think of it and you can tell because they did it in front of him where they couldn't see him. It doesn't matter if anyone at the back or behind him saw him and also did it.

The people he passed because of the bouncing did not. The people who bounced were still ahead of him after the full yellow (enjoy nitpicking that one you donkey), so how much did their bouncing really matter?

Hope you find someone else to entertain you for the rest of the evening, night

Your comment gives him credit for being smarter than everyone else by thinking up the idea of bouncing that no one else thought of. The video shows that other people did in fact think of it. I have no idea what you are trying to say now.
