I think they may not like to use this one as some *codes* communicated between teams will be obvious as to what it means, as people can see which buttons are adjusted!

However, I'd love if they could add this camera angle in addition to the other one.

^Hey CJ,

You have better quality to get into movie business than Tom Cruise.

had a chance rive the 2007 renault lotus car (Alonso's car) couple of weeks ago in hungaroring. Brakes are surreal, but its the aerodynamic handling that i found most difficult to get used to. The F1 cars handle so and so in very tight corners where mechanical grip is all you have but get really stuck on the ground on those 3/4+ gear corners... You need guts to take those corners at WOT like those guys do.

If you don't believe me, look at the telemetry from a well driven F1 car, still pulling big Gs at the slow Hungaroring corners (90 kph)

have the telemetry of grojean vs mine on hungaroring. I stand by what i said, also confirmed by the engineers there. They did give us crap old pirelli tires but the throttle application on tight corners has to be super duper gradual. Hence the whole driving style of these cars is slow in, fast out.
Am not saying they don't handle in tight corners, what i am saying is that the medium and fast ones are the corners that make those cars "supernatural"

agreed
the throttle application of any car with over 600 PS has to be gradual, its a different world up there
