Seems like Bob Bell appreciated Grosjean's rather unusual sense of humour. :lol:

overnight the team could peel some stickers off the cars, but the clothing has the logos printed on.
it'll be interesting to see if the team will have new uniforms shipped over during this race weekend.

Two different cars, two different drivers, two different circumstances. To think otherwise is plain foolish and grasping desperately at straws.

If Piquet jr just messed up and went wide normally it would look like what Grosjean and Webber did today.. (and what Lewis did in Monza) Hit the outer edge of the curb and slam right into the wall head on.

You can see the difference, the dude spun before he was even on the curbs.. he even had time to align the car sideways to the wall to minimize the impact.lol.. human reaction time just can't be that fast to correct the car in such a small width of track at 100mph. Not even Schumacher could have dodged a head on collision with the wall like that.

But anyway, Grosjean has crashed in every race so far. If he keeps on going like this it seems he is going to end up a "crasher" like Webber and Piquet.

Hey, what type of differential is that? where is the divice (clutch/helical gears etc) to transfer the torque to either wheel? Looks like an open differential.

Those are the kinds of videos that I wish were more avialable and in english. What I found odd was at the 2:00 mark. They show a cutaway of the Toyota rear suspension.

I was under the impression that most teams run a rotary-damper instead of a conventional damper that is seen there.

Whoever did the CGI for that film must have taken some liberties (also thinking with the diff) I am sure that things aren't that simple.

Also, although it is an amazing simulation (all the moving parts and whatnot) look at the amount of movement at the joints. (thinking specifically rod ends and spherical bearings) Talk about compliance issues :)

Sorry to be OT but that video was really interesting!

Give him some time, I think it's too early to call him a crasher. And has he crashed in every race? He managed to finish in Valencia and Monza

He seems a more capable chap than Piquet
