If like me you occasionally watch formula 1 and think it doesn't look that fast, this video from Spa showing speed comparison through Eau Rouge clearly demonstrates the actual difference...

Wow, in perspective that is an insane amount of difference! I've always had an issue with how they broadcast racing - there are never any static shots; camera's are always moving, panning and zooming, therefore reducing the effect of speed. If they would start having some static shots like this people would realise how truly fast these things go. Scary stuff!

How to post pics: When writing a message, scroll down and use the "attach file" option. Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

You're putting in "http://youtu.be/K2cNqaPSHv0" which won't embed - you need to use the full link and just put the "?v=K2cNqaPSHv0" between the youtube brackets. :)

Even though the bikes are fast, nothing will get round a bend like an F1 car...
