One thing is certain: drivers will complain about at least one of these elements.

It's just a F110 chassis, hacked up by Geoff Willis lol.

Front suspension is from the Dallara. Rear suspenion and gearbox is the 2010 Williams. Only new points are wings and slightly different sidepods, lol.

Unfortunately no...

Rain has stopped by the way, so we should get more cars on track this afternoon.

Hamilton is the fastest car thus far today. Looks like he's the man to beat in 2011..

But how do you get the footage? If you can't say don't worry, I'm just curious :)

And some will complain about all three.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

What's the point in even trying when you are not even able to make an attempt at moving forward.

They said that Dallara gave them a shit car last year, but still they use like half of the car.

Rotational sat dish and knowledge of where they broadcast the raw feeds from testing I presume.

Well, he gets them before they even appear in the news, so it must be raw feeds from satellite as cookie said. France/Netherlands etc. are great locations in terms of broadcasting and being able of getting raw feeds.

Yeah you're right, raw feed. But France/Netherlands aren't the best place to be to get the F1 Testing videos, since it's mostly for Spanish TV. You need to live close to Spain, I don't think you can get the footage if you live in the northern part of France or Netherlands.

But I guess it wouldn't be hard with a big enough dish, would it? Here in Poland, depending on the exact place you live in, you can receive channels from Astra 2D with a 150-200cm dish and that beam is very tightly focused on the British Isles.
