This is what I've said all along.

The sounds is good, it just doesn't translate well onto TV.

I love how these cars are moving around more than they were before, Its so much more fun watching them now compared to when they looked like they were on rails the past few years.


Ricciardo's fuel flow sensor failed in FP1, Been replaced by a new one which is currently working.

Chilton posting Chilton speeds (in p20)

If they keep it up they're out (be)fore 2015. 11th means no money from Bernie and then it's game over man.....game over!!!

STR looks incredibly nervous everywhere, Tons of driver input on the wheel with the back end sliding around.

Gonna be a fun race on Sunday. This track is pretty fun to race on so should be a lot of action.

surprised to see how close the field is. I hope it carries on into the weekend.

apparently it has been a very dry period recently. So a dry race is on the cards

Just a question, and sorry if it has been covered here before, but how come the Red Bull doesn't have the front cameras sticking out on the nose mount? The nose doesn't appear to be as wide as the end of the cameras, so how can they get away with not having them?

I think there's no rule about how far you put the cameras from the centre line of the car. Therefore I think Red Bull have put them within the nose of the car, and there is a small hole in the nose for the camera to view through. I'm sure I saw this in an illustration in Autosport a few weeks ago, unless I imagined it!

That is indeed what they have done. Typical Newey inventiveness, although now I'm waiting for our first camera fire...

I've read this in several places, too. It seems as though the stewards in the lower formulae don't or won't do enough to enforce decent standards to begin with, which is bad when you consider the driving standards most young fans now seem as normal. The modern safety standards basically give young drivers a sense of bravery that drivers in the 80s and early 90s couldn't afford to have.

Also, I'd be interested to know when Soul Reaver started watching F1. No overtaking before 2011!?

Ok thanks for explaining that, but I just found it odd that every other car seemd to have the cameras in exactly the same position protruding out the same distance. So that would explain why the Red Bull nose is the most elegant, it has a vanity panel to cover up the cameras!

I really liked the McLaren up until this weekend, it always looked nice out on track, but the new schnoz has ruined the flowing line it had ... oh well.

That being said, I'm enjoying watching the cars on track, they move around a lot more, the cars aren't so planted by the aero.

Utilized my fantastic Photoshop-skills to point out the camera:

That Adrian Newey guy is one genius little bastard.

Please don't tell me you're only realising this now?

could be a good way to improve air flow in a hidden air duct, but that was banned and it couldn't improve the engine cooling

They have made the hole for the camera bigger this weekend.

Although apparently FOM can't actually get one of there cameras in there & there obviously unable to run one of the rear-facing camera's on the right side. So there's some talk that this solution will soon be banned & they will be forced to have the camera mounts on either side like everyone else.

No, but the fact he is still surprising us with the weirdest little details on the cars nobody else thinks of, makes my admiration for him only bigger (despite the team he is working for).
