I do , just check aero-mech development threads of 2008 & 2009 and you will find many of them posted there . If you need a certain team PM me .mturda wrote:Thanks for these, i know its off topic but do you have pic of other teams?

In this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEa57DmkYaY) Alonso says that the multimap is the engine braking.Ciro Pabón wrote:What a great summary!
Just for the fun, here you have a video of Alonso racing around Catalunya with eyes closed, on a dining table, with only a steering wheel in his hands, trying to arrive to the exact time he did last race during qualy. It's a bet with a journalist... but allows you to check what he does with the wheel without impediments.

Summary of the conversation:
Journalist: "I have here 20 euros..."
Alonso: "Who has 20 euros?"
J: "What happens? Do drivers come here without any money?"
A: "... 20 euros"
J: "I gamble 20 euros with you, on you not being able to do an imaginary lap around this circuit of Barcelona, and come close to the time you did during the qualy, which was 1:21, more or less. I'm going to give you the chance to be +-3 seconds, higher or lower. Eyes closed, do with the wheel more or less what you do..."
A: "C'mon, you... +-5 seconds"
J: "Hey, dude, if you were a regular driver or we were in A1GP (?)... but we're in F1"
A: "Fine, fine"
J: "If you don't, I take the dough, it's the same for me... 1:21, I start the clock when you tell me."
A: "I'll tell you when I start".
J: "Ok, ok."
(Alonso "drives")
J: "I have to show, in first place, the clock..."
A: "1:15? Around that?"
J: "1:22.01... I've just lost 20 euros with Fernando Alonso."
A: "Well... see you tomorrow"
J: "See you, you've made your day. Thanks a lot... I don't know how it has looked to you, but to me it has seemed incredible what FA has been able to do... blah, blah... we took the "simulation" and mixed it with the real image... blah, blah"
(comparison of imaginary lap and real lap)
Man, he moves the "multimap" control a lot...
