McLaren's car with headlamps haha! Joke only lah... from TopGear.comMan I wasn't impressed by Channel 5's F1 commentator... On screen Mark Webber's Red Bull RB4 car was bottoming out on a bumpy section of the track and the commentator was actually saying things like Webber's having a big electrical problem and he's going to retire very soon... Wao kaoz~! Why get somebody who doesn't know about cars, somebody who doesn't know about F1 and racing to do live commentary on the first time live telecast of an F1 race on national TV? Not a good education for those many first time F1 converts... Those sparks are just due to the car's bottom scratching on the peaks of bumps on the road, that's all! What electrical problem? Probably the only wiring problem is the one within this commentator's head hahaha~! Luckily there's Starhub channel 24 for me... much better commentary from here~
But from what can be seen on TV, the views of the track and the surrounding was really quite beautiful, certainly a damn good introduction of S'pore to the world, and probably would do a great deal to helping those ang mohs remember that S'pore isn't a province in a part of China hahas!
Williams F1 team website has a video of Nico Rosberg on a simulator lap of the S'pore track, quite realistic, damn cool, really a good view of what the drivers actually see while driving on the track... Williams F1 S'pore GP simulator video
But Lewis Hamilton has only gained even more respect from me after watching his practice 2 fastest run... man this guy's has better feel through his feet than many people with their hands! Just watch him power slide his 800bhp McLaren through the tighter corners! Many people have problems even just braking smoothly on a bicycle and this boy's playing with the throttle power-sliding an F1 car! Go Lewis! Win the championship~!
