WOW. Using the youtube doubler to watch the cars go around the same part of the same track during two different races:

That's insane

That caterham (probably a 500) is a FAST car and it was almost out of the picture when the F1 entered the footage, it beat it to the top of the hill, lol.

Made that Radical look slow, too.

Wow, I have a new respect for F1 drivers. How fast do they go on average anyway?

Watched a rerun of the canadian GP from this year, they averaged 140 mph...

F1 is the pinnacle of automotive performance, hands down.

Most of the time. There are many times however, when one manufacturer develops a new technology that completely changes the playing field and dwarfs the opposing teams, and then by season end the technology gets banned from use.

If I remember right last year a team was using a wing with three seperate fins that was banned by the end of the year.
