That's very dangerous.
To the videos. I can not understand why there are always people who bring the videos in wrong resolution. Is there a possibility to unstrech those pictures?

Looks like its going to be a mechanics morning. Only one driver has attempted more than a shake down lap - Here's what happened on lap 2 ....

11:44 Rosberg's car is off the track on the exit of Turn 4. Looks like he might well have dropped it on the exit of the left-hander
