I don't have any of the F1 videos outdoor. I have a bunch from Indoor races on carpet.

Aero on the F1 cars is minimal. Getting everything low and lowering CG is still effective.

Aero on Sedans and full bodied cars is HUGE. You can change a body and completely change the way the car drives. Doesn't matter if it is indoor or outdoor.

This is one of my favorites.

Cool! Wow that's almost hypnotic. When's the last time a Sauber won an F1 race? LOL!

Seems like Caterham have named their 2nd driver:

Yeah, hats off to Mercedes and Lewis.

For the sheer dominance of Mercedes, this was actually a really good season. I'm glad they didn't pull a Ferrari (or RB for that matter) and manufacture a driver's championship winner.

Hopefully Renault and Honda can find the HP, and hopefully Williams can find that last 0.5-1.0 second gap between them and Mercedes.

Finally the Fastest Racer in F1 wins his 2nd WDC! This has probably been one of the more exciting seasons in while. Double points at the end kept the WDC open to the very last race. What a way for the season to end.

was a great season. the best driver on the grid won the WC, all is good in the universe. Mercedes did run away with the season but the battle between teammates in each team was still great to watch. now for the long wait for the first race next season.

what happened to nico that he dropped so far back and got lapped by hami. was weird that the team told nico to pit with only two laps left. maybe they thought he would take out hami in anger. lol

His ERS failed fairly early on (lap 25 or so), and other parts of the electronics were failing as well (the car shut off at one point). They asked him to pit because the car was failing.

A good summary to the end of the season.

So anyone know if Caterham finished 10th after Marussia's downfall? And are eligible for some of the prize money.

I don't think Caterham gets any money for 10th.
