Title: F1 onboard via red button
Post by: feeutfo on 25 September 2011, 13:59:28
Currently showing Alonso, at Singapore Gp. Guess it cycles through varios drivers. Fantastic, but Christ they take a battering over this kerbs. Plus the heat...  :o

Also, looking at the onboard footage, the camera is set above/higher than the drivers head. And even then it's not possible to see the front wing. No wonder they knock them off the car now and then.

I'm watching what I recorded earlier (so don't tell me who won, though I suspect that's easy to guess) - but I saw the in car footage of Vettel's qualifying lap; I hadn't realised Singapore was so narrow! It looks, at most, 2 cars wide and less in some places when you're in-car..

I know I couldn't be that committed around there, for sure.

As Hamilton found out (again!) to his misfortune. ::)

No sympathy for Massa, and him interrupting Lewis's interview. He's (Massa) done nout but get in the way and block all season.

I tend to think that the Massa/Hamilton incident in the race was just a racing incident, nothing more (just like Schumacher going airborne, the only difference being the guy in front of Schumacher braked a bit harder and wheels connected rather than just the wing) - so I do think he was probably penalised a little harshly..

But I still think Hamilton is a bit of a twonk.

I think Hamilton is the outstanding driver of this current generation.
Re the Hamilton/Massa incident - I completely agree with Gixer.................I think I better go and have a lie down. ::) ;D

I think the drive through was not needed, he already lost his front wing, so that was punishment enough.

He's gotten too frustrated this season not winning, not really a good sign. Jenson has been calm, consistent & is in much better position in the championship (although its already lost)

Going on this season Jenson has been far the better driver

Despite having already been world champion, I think he's driving better this year than at any other point in his career.

ISTR one of the statistics they read out on Sunday was that Jensen has the highest number of competitive overtakes this season.. (even more than Kobayashi, which is shocking ;D)

And a certain Admin here thinks he is Gay. Which as we all now no means he's "pure quality"!

If he's gay then his girlfriend is one hell of a cover story .. I'd like one like that! ;D
