Not a video but I watched the F1 practice, interesting is all I have to say.
What happens when you add two electric motors (one to power the turbo), batteries and a new engine to a car .... not many laps.
Gloves to touch the cars so the crew doesn't get shocked ...
I can't wait for a wet race.

Congratulations, Bernie. Now we have F1 cars that sound like toilets flushing.

I am and always have been a person that is into safety gear .
I have the hans for cars with twin shoulder belts and a safety solutions body harness that connects to the helmet for cars with the street 3 point belts .
my body has been so beat to hell racing off road motorcycles I don't need to add to it racing cars .
