How was it? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think a pretty telling way of understanding just how fast a F1 car is doing what it's doing is to drive the same track yourself in your car, and in a racing sim, and then you'll see just how much faster the F1 car can do everything.
the four immutable forces:
static balance
dynamic balance
static imbalance

Well duh. Talk about missing the point. Every comparison involving an F1 car is kinda obsolete.
"There is a credit card with the Ferrari logo, issued by Santander, which gives the scuderia a % of purchases made with the card...

I would guess that such a serious amount of money would allow them to ignore the constant complains of a car that was nowhere near as bad as their #1 driver tried to sell throughout the season.

Heck, a car on which Massa finishes in the podium or has to lift so that his teammate finishes ahead (As we saw often in the final races of the year) is, by no means, a "bad" car."

interesting to see all here saying how slow they seem, while i havent been to a F1 race Ive been to plenty of nascar races (sue me) and have to say they are rather fast. I had front row seats at daytona in 07 and there was a spot in my field of view where literally all the colors blended together. You couldnt tell it was cars going by. Also the feeling of the wind being pushed out of the way by 43 cars doing 200mph.I do plan to visit an F1 circuit now that im in europe.
