    The Cans to Smiley Boy; "Hows the balance?"
    SB; "Little weak at the front, but generally not awful...."

    As long as it's "generally not awful", I guess it's pretty good. ;)

    A little OT, but what the hell;

    Watching the Sky coverage and their ads, it seems pretty much the only people advertising are various "betting" sites.

    Anyone know if they're allowed to sponsor any motorsport? Or are they banned like tobacco? Seems they've got plenty of money, kind of like Vegas..... An untapped source?

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Compared to 2012 & 2013..... The place is empty! Not many people, even taking into consideration that it is Friday. I've counted at least 12 empty spaces in the RV area. Last year the RV area was at full capacity. I believe many have chosen not to come, since they understand that the (drivers') championship has already been decided (Hamilton :( ).

    I like that hybrid camera technology they have just shown. Hope they use that more this weekend.

    TBH, I'm not too sure on that one...... It's kind of cool, but is it actually more "informative? A little too "gimmicky" maybe?

    Neat that they're trying different stuff though.

    Cheers,

    Am enjoying the "new" g-circle display.....

    The data geeks say, correctly, we're looking for a "hollow" triangle with nothing in the middle - ie, it's always under maximum loading. The yellow data points confirm he's doing pretty much that....

    See post #20 for my thoughts (FWIW! ;))

    Note that this isn't Sky but Bernie's world feed of course.....
