Sebastian_Vettel_2013_Catalonia_test_(19-22_Feb)_Day_1-1

Unless you live under a rock, you’ll know that Sebastian Vettel was crowned 4 time F1 Champ last weekend.  It was an amazing achievement.   One that I think put him ahead of Senna (flame suit on), but still behind Schumacher, Fangio, Clark and Stewart.  I’m sure at only 26 he’ll win a few more.  We are currently witnessing a demolition of the record books.  This is on another level to Schumie’s dominance.  The caliber of drivers currently has never been so high.  Almost a shame that more from North America are not watching.

 

 

Rush.

Racing movies mostly suck.  The two standouts being Grand Prix and Le Mans.  While not exactly great films, in the realms of auto racing in film.  They are the best.  I hope Rush can be mentioned with those two in the future.  I still have a soft spot for Days of Thunder though.  Let’s not get started on Driven.

It is the story of James Hunt, the dude who slept with 33 air stewardesses in a span of two weeks vs. Niki Lauda, the guy who almost died at the Nurburgring, only to return 2 races later.

Intersquad Squabble.

Not sure how I feel about this.  It seems as though Vettel went against team orders to pass Webber.  But I’m here to watch great racing.  I think Webber would have done the same given the chance.  It’s just drivers being drivers.  And IMO, much better than Mercedes’ jog to the end.

Edit*  The FIA is really fast at shutting down copyrighted video lol

Footwork

All sorts of styles.  To each his own.  Left foot braking, heel toe, clutchless.  What ever works.  I don’t even want to know what brake temps are like on WRC after a tarmac stage. And only Senna makes it look so easy with loafers.

Everything Is Better In Slow Motion

After recently viewing this Porsche vs. Juke R, I realized how fuckin awesome slow mo footage is.  So I’ve added the best slow motion autoracing videos out there.
