On the straight toward Parabolica Kimi's engine sounds like the clutch is slipping and there's a peak in the revs, any ideas? I see also that they didn't use 7th gear either - reducing rotational mass to save power?

great flashback. I have to dig up my archive of F1 collections more of such clips. I have to say, those wide low rear spoilers still looks way better than today's tall and narrow ones.
I suppose today's rules are better in terms of overtaking. I have not heard drivers complaining lack of downforce from "dirty/turbulent air" following another car in recent times. Although drivers have new complaints about 'no grip' from bad tires.

Anyone have a better quality version of this vid? It's quite cool to get a view at Sebs eyes throughout the entire lap:

Oh my... this video is like from a different world compared to what I've seen yesterday. Great looking car, epic track, godlike sound too. Feels like it was another era altogether, compared to that tedious parade around a giant multicolor neon-lit phallus, with DRS 'passes' and no hope of proper racing for positions.

I don't know why, maybe because of the bad choise of camera angles, but why did they look MUCH faster in 2000's than today?!

I think that's beacuse they could punish those tyres much more without loosing grip, attacking kerbs and corners much more agressively during qualy. I miss that visible agressiveness too. They should give a qualy-set of tyres for the top10 really.

More agressively than this?
