Should send that to Peter Windsor, Scarbs and Ted Kravitz...that looks like something the FIA needs to know about and take a look at it (worst case scenario is that the driver could be electrocuted).

Wow. That's crazy. Good thing though is that it doesn't look like a battery or PU discharge. Looks more like a short somewhere in the cockpit. Still, very odd.

all the PU stuff is behind the driver, sure it isn't just a reflections on the wet linse ?

There is another ghost image superimposed/blended at the crucial 2-3 frames - is the spark from that image rather than the cockpit?

That´s the pitwall, sparks are from the car footage.

Sorry for double post, forgot to copy and paste in the older post.

This was fun. Next time I will post my ideas on why diesel is actually better in an F1 engine than high octane petrol...

Diesel is for tractors and trucks!

I saw a current 5 series v6turbo BMW drive past me the the other day and even they sound like a mechanic has left a box of bolts in the engine bay.

Straight 6, they don´t build V6 engines.

My bad, I thought the 530d's where v6's. :p

BMW has a thing for straight engines unless it´s V8 and above. I guess at that point length starts to become an issue.

Good on them, I'd much rather a straight 6 than a v6 myself.

weather looks good so far.

One refreshing thing about this season so far, albeit still in it's infancy, is the lack of Pirelli bashing so far!

Pole Prediction time!!!!!

Im going Hamilton

Im also Going with Hamilton 1:28.665

Very precise there, you from the future haha. Cant wait to see if your right.

Podium - Mercedes one - two then Button, he's always been handy around here.

I may have to change the McLaren's around but still keeping this prediction, have a feeling Ricardo is going to drop like a stone, he did it in Torro Rosso's a lot.

He only lost places because he'd put his TR further up the grid than it deserved to be.

I'm sure I just saw some spots of rain on the camera..

EDIT: Grosjean starting from the pitlane.

Exactly, I think he put the Red bull in a place it doesn't deserve to be.
