^ It was supposedly recorded from the dyno... but there are things to consider like the exhaust layout and the fact that it was in an enclosed room.
Lets just wait till the first test...
I did't think F1 was a realistic goal... some of these kids started karting when they were 5-6yrs and moved on thru the different series from there. You're late-teens-early-20's I think? Maybe some recreational racing, but F1 was never gonna happen.
Damn, what did he steal!?
everything is synchronized so seamlessly :x
A great deal of money is needed, but it's not necessarily the issue as there have been many successful drivers who didn't have a wealthy background.**** those privileged, silver spoon kids. So I can't work my butt off and reach the top?
Yea I just turned 21 a couple months ago, I guess I'll just stick to football then

Ultimately, it's a sport where one has to start at a very young age. The junior categories... it's where one builds their race-craft.. the racing experience... the racing instincts. It's something you develop when you're a kid... not as a young-adult.
I guess it's the same for footy... that's why those Barca 10-year olds are so good... they get groomed from a very young age and instinctively know what to do on the pitch...
at this point, its not about money anymore but your developmental stage is way past over you.
F1 is not a sport like basketball that you can start late and grow for 5-10 inches and be still good at it.
thats why just like any endeavor not just only in sports, starting very early is important to have an early foundation. its great as a kid if you have the talent but if not, developing skills as early possible is a big factor. once that developmental is over theres no goin back. even if you have talent and its not develop early, you'll just out grow it and reaching the full potential will be just a big what if.
in Brazil, mainly in Rio, parents there bring their kids to the beaches to teach them, but not to walk, not to say mom or dad but how to kick a ball. as early as the baby can stand on its own, parents there teach their kids early to have that instinct on kicking a ball
their football skills are being develop right away even earlier than the babys completed first step.
good bye guys
That was a pretty $%(#ing insane quali... really wanted to Paul and Jense to hang on there. How the hell did the find over 1 second in the end there!? Meh.
I didn't subscribe to the HD-service.
Using their pre & post show would be too much to ask for. Paula, Alex, Sanjeev and whoever would be outta work! LOL
A tear-off ruined Kimi's race, are you #$%*ing me?
Belgian GP: Visor tear-off led to Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus retiring

Kimi Raikkonen retires, Belgian GP 2013, Spa
Lotus suspects that a blocked brake cooling duct caused by a loose visor tear-off led to Kimi Raikkonen's retirement from the Belgian Grand Prix.
Raikkonen suffered from an overheating left front brake duct shortly after the start of the race at Spa-Francorchamps.
AUTOSPORT has learned that at the first pitstop, the team discovered the visor tear-off lodged in the cooling channels of the brake duct.
Although Lotus was able to remove it, the brake disc was already too hot and could not be cooled enough. Eventually it failed completely.
Investigations by the team after the race discovered no other explanation for the brake issues, which led it to believe that the visor strip was the cause.
Team principal Eric Boullier said there was no design problem with the brake cooling on the Lotus, even though it had been operating in a high temperature window.
"We know that we have two options on cooling here: one was nearly too cool, one was on the top of the range," Boullier told AUTOSPORT.
"If the failure had happened on both discs then you would think that the cooling was wrong, but it was only on one disc."
These are great in that they're funny, entertaining and educational!
