Formula One - Chinese Gran Prix - Preview - Nico Rosberg

Another enjoyable preview video, this time for the Shanghai International Circuit, with narration by Nico Rosberg of the ATT/Williams team.   In order to change things up, the producer or director asked Nico to draw the circuit while narrating and blind-folded.  As the picture turns out to be a jumbled mess, I'm not totally sure what they are trying illustrate. Either that Nico is unable to draw complex shapes while blind-folded or that F1 drivers can describe a 14-turn track by memory. Enjoy!

2009 Malaysian Gran Prix Preview

It should be an interesting weekend in Sepang.  Intense heat and humidity have always been a challenge at this track, but the reliability of the mostly new cars in this hot environment will definitely be a factor in the race's outcome . 

Sepang will likely pose a larger challenge to the "non-protested-diffusor" teams, as the Sepang circuit is made up of mostly fast corners combined with long straights.  Any reduction in rear downforce to improve straight-line speed will directly affect cornering grip, and teams with standard diffusors will have fewer options than their rivals.

 Automotive TV, put together this preview of the circuit complete with commentary by ATT/Williams driver Nico Rosberg. Enjoy!
