F1 vs Indycar

Loved the F1 vs Indy video!
Even though the camera mount (jumpy helmet cam vs smooth attached to chassis cam) adds weight to the idea that Indy is more lively, still love both comps and the comparison.

Can you imagine how much F1 moaning there would be about lack of grip if they had to drove those

[norbs]

I didnt expect there to be that big of a lap time difference.

That track almost looks unfit to drive on. Some of those bumps are massive. Sky were saying it's sunk 1.5m since they built it and they'll have to resurface it before next season.

[nutty]

Not a bad race so far.. not action packed but looking like it should be a good finish

[Big Kev]

Christmas jumper present for Norbs there?

...and a hat

Turned out to be a bit of a fizzer at the end.

[norbs]

Forgot to add, Vettel's suspension letting go, fucking hell.

[nutty]

Yeah disappointing in the end

[Big Kev]

Bottas almost sounded like he was going to cry in the interviews, talking about the title being lost. Mate, you lost it before the season even started! Only your wife and manager thought you had a chance!!

Was a bit of a dull race until the last 10 laps. I tend to find that track is a bit rubbish until the last few laps anyway.

So, another one for Hamilton. Merc have won every title in the hybrid era, but I do feel Red Bull and McLaren are getting closer. As for Ferrari, who knows. They might have the best car but they mess up so often it's hard to tell!

Must say I thought this was very classy from Vettel.

[Exar Kun]

Seb and Lewis seem to have a lot of respect for each other, despite their occasional on track issues. Lewis was one of the more vocal "don't write him off" proponents during Vettel's slump in form.
