Sebastan "the middle finger" Vettel cuts across the nose of the HRT and then calls Narain an idiot. The golden boy needs to grow up as this will get annoying fairly quickly.
Don't know if this has been posted before but it's pretty great:
Filmed for Top Gear in 1986 apparently. He's clearly not pushing all that much but it's great to listen and watch. Double-clutch heel-toe downshift at 7:15.
I saw that a day or two ago. You can tell he's tip-toeing around the corners but he opens it up on the straights and my god, that's a lot of power. I think they say it's like the hand of God pushing you forward.
He's either very careful or has no idea how to brake hard - probably both. With the insane amount of downforce at 200 mph initial braking performance is limited by the driver's ability to apply force to the pedal, right? I think that's how it is. Threshold braking only comes in at lower speeds.
The video's one and only comment says that this driver was able to set a time 1:08, and Marce Gene set a track record of 1:05.78 the same day. So not too bad, especially for a gentlemen driver.
Those videos of Jacques are also in the Gilles tribute thread, among other great videos and images.
