Any links to the TV spot? I heard there is a newish documentary about him? But could only find one from few years ago. Am I confusing this with this new tv interview?
Hey @kjok
anyone take you up on sharing a taxi? Me and a friend might be interested as wellI was at the Malaysian GP last year, trying to spot the difference between helmets of ricciardo and vettel, especially since the latter is always changing was difficult at best. Forget about even bothering to make out the red numbers on the side as they went past. Even making out anyones helmet is not that easy trackside unless they are really easy to spot (Alonso for example). I think the number should be on the sidepod or rear wing with a white square, black number on it. Easy.
For every one story I have heard of that working out well, I have heard three nightmare stories involving anything with public transportation. I have only been once myself, so I am by no means a expert.
Just watched all the Mario Muth RAW interview series on Youtube. If you have not seen, please do so, asap. You will not be dissappointed. So far he has done Murray Walker, Gary Harstein (former f1 doc), Darren Heath (photog) Coulthard, Maurice Hamilton and Derek Warwick. Muths style of interview is fabulous, the people just speak. The Warwick interview is the best racing driver interview I think I have ever seen.
Also getting caught up on the F1 Legends series from Sky.
Gonna try digging around and finding DTM from this year, I realized, I don’t know who won the title! so could be fun. Finding them with english commentary was a challenge in the past though.
I went to the F1 race last year, and I wouldn’t consider taking any other means of transportation to the track other than a taxi, rideshare, or rent your own car. The lines for buses, and even the taxi line, (you have to line up your taxi ahead) were very very long. I found a rideshare last year just by going on fb and going to the sepang page and made a post. A young Malay guy and his buddy took me, my brother, and a german guy that they knew to the track on Saturday. On Sunday, my brother and I took a taxi straight from the hotel to the track and had the guy pick us up after at a specific spot. We spent probably 120usd total for the taxi, but it was well worth it. If you can get like 4 people to chip in on it, it wouldn’t be too bad.
Was at Sepang for my first race in person. Been following since mid 80’s. I am not at a F1 race to hear tires squeal, I can do that in a honda civic. I am at a F1 race to get that raw emotional gut feeling. Since it was my first race in person, I loved every minute of it, but wish I could have experienced it prior. If you want to hear the trackside PA system, buy a cheap radio with headphones, voila. I also don’t go to F1 to have lengthy conversations with people sitting next to me. If I hear one more delusional parent on here praising the new F1 “for the childrens ears sake” LOL, you could have brought them prior and got them some ear muffs yes? So for my experience, the cars sound OK, but not great was my feeling. I have a friend who had a 07 Audi RS4 with Magnaflow catback exhaust, and I got more of a raw feeling hearing that thing. Yes, if you compare these v-6 to the ear shattering drone of the v-8’s, these may be better, but better than what we have had in the past? There are some pretty comical arguments on here praising the benefits of this new f1. Yes, the world will eventually run out of petrol, and when will that be exactly? 100 years from now? More? So F1 is THAT ahead of the game, hahaha. F1, 100 years before the rest of the world! Yes, there was fuel saving techniques in days gone by, but coasting through corners lap after lap like I saw Hamilton doing in Malaysia at the final turn? I don’t think so. I would still be willing to guess that if F1F did another survey and based it on age and years following F1, the majority of the yah yah love the new F1 would be youngsters. Nothing wrong with that of course, but if the numbers are to be believed, F1 is in decline, so just how is this new F1 working out for you??
