I just saw the thread. Don't have any speakers to the computer I'm sitting on. Will watch it tomorrow though.

Just watched it. Damn, I had no idea driving an F1 car is that demanding. These drivers are like astronauts. Perhaps Lewis should change his name to Armstrong?

^ Well not like astronauts who just sit around, more like fighter pilots.

But the drivers complained, and not only them, that the current V8 cars are too dumbed down/easy.
The traditional philosophy was to give the engine more power that the chassis could take, thus allowing driver errors and overtaking play a larger part, but today that's no longer the case.
