Could not find a lot of photos, but there are some fairly recent videos on youtube

Mostly filmed on track days I think
14th May 2011, 18:20 at 6:20 pm #168444butterdoriParticipantDo we know of any other Petrovs?
9th May 2011, 9:27 at 9:27 am #168384butterdoriParticipantI’d see it as the top 3 plus top 2 midfield teams
Both Mercedes and Renault show potential, but they are not quite in the same league with the top 3
It’s just that their difference to Sauber, FI, Toro Rosso and Williams is too big.
2nd May 2011, 20:05 at 8:05 pm #168074butterdoriParticipantWow that looks fascinating!
23rd April 2011, 7:42 at 7:42 am #159769butterdoriParticipant2009, when I was returning to school after the holidays, I happened to see Button winning in Australia
Now I come to think of it, I don’t know why it was then that I got hooked, and not earlier.
19th April 2011, 12:23 at 12:23 pm #167324butterdoriParticipantIt’s good that there are a lot of overtakes, but I hope there isn’t a lot of the kind of type where the driver in front cannot defend because his tyres are shot
16th April 2011, 11:18 at 11:18 am #166969butterdoriParticipantSomeone suggested that his shirts were confiscated at customs. Apparently, China isn’t ready for them
14th April 2011, 10:36 at 10:36 am #166928butterdoriParticipantIt would be cool if Ferrari lubricate their engines with Bovril
13th April 2011, 9:45 at 9:45 am #158366butterdoriParticipantAs Damon said, you can tell if a photo has been zoomed. This is because the perspective gets narrower as you zoom further.
Here’s an example to show the change in perspective
The higher the focal length (the number on top of the photo), the more ‘zoom’ you have
Whether the photo you refer to has been zoomed or not, on the other hand, I’m not sure.
12th April 2011, 20:35 at 8:35 pm #166800butterdoriParticipantWhat I mean to say is that simply doing better than your team mate doesn’t make a huge impression unless you absolutely humiliate him. What distinguishes an exceptional driver from a good driver is that the exceptional driver can drive beyond the capability of that car.
Vettel’s win with Toro Rosso, Hulkenbberg’s pole position, Kubica’s podium in Monaco, and Kobayashi from time to time last year are some of the examples I had in mind. I’m not sure Heidfeld had such attention grabbing moments.
12th April 2011, 14:08 at 2:08 pm #166356butterdoriParticipantErm.. I dunno
Doesn’t look too genuine, but then again, I don’t know how Heidfeld and Kubica get along outside the track.
12th April 2011, 14:04 at 2:04 pm #166796butterdoriParticipantBecause he has compared quite favourably against various illustrious teammates who are considered quick.
I see that point raised quite often, but I think a driver should be fast, full stop. He shouldn’t need to rely on how well he did against a teammate. That, I think, is the reason I don’t rate Heidfeld as one of the top drivers.
11th April 2011, 18:15 at 6:15 pm #166600butterdoriParticipantRudderless Russian was epic for me, though I didn’t quite catch when he said it at first.
Oh, and looking at that website, this one too:
“There are four compounds [of tyre] through the year: hard, medium, soft and supersoft; that’s silver, white, yellow and red – not a very sensible progression. I think you’ve gotta think of it as knife, toast, butter and jam as they get softer through the progression of the rubber.”
Now there’s a sensible way of remembering all the tyre compounds!
10th April 2011, 14:53 at 2:53 pm #166466butterdoriParticipantSecond consecutive top 10 finish in a Sauber, looking good so far this season.
I loved his move on Schumacher today, the way he stabbed him on the back just when Michael thought that he successfully defended his position.
8th April 2011, 17:49 at 5:49 pm #166310butterdoriParticipantThe fact that we are struggling to decide who is better shows how mediocre both of them are.
I know that they don’t have the best cars on the grid, but by now they should have pulled off something like Hulkenberg in Brazil, Vettel in Monza or even Perez in Australia
