I've seen this video before, isn't it a joke with the mechanics always being clumsy etc?

I can't imagine them lights being used, surely on aerodynamics alone they'd be a no go zone.

Thank you , Ron , for having a sense of humour .

This kind of thing is exactly what we need at the moment .

These last races , with so much on the line , and so many still in mathematical contention , have the potential to be absolutely ridden with contoversy .

Fasten your 5 point harnesses kids . We're in for a wild ride !

But , It's nice to have a giggle to break the tension before it starts .

I wonder how many takes it took to get straight faces from everyone .

Good to see this coming from McLaren. The team most people accuse of being without any sense of humour.

Police in the UK could soon give speeding crooks a bit of a shock by chasing them down in 200mph Formula 1 supercars.

Partisanship? WTF? It's not funny..... it's .... just.... not..... funny.

IMHO of course :)

Is there any reason you didn't accuse me of racism? :confused:

Well done McLaren for providing us with some timely light-heartedness.

It wasn't "rolling-on-the-floor-peeing-in-my-pants" funny, but in light of the recent staid events in F1, particularly surrounding team McLaren, it was quite refreshing.

They should use it some day on the circuit too - would be fun to see the real effect!

now just being foolish,

trying to ruin the mood in this light hearted thread.

Stop hating with the negativity and the mclaren bias.

They could find a cure for cancer and you would see the downside in that
:hmph:

This thread started as a great, light hearted, funny introduction to the Singapore Grand Prix. Two people have done their best to ruin it...
Well Done !

Your wish is granted :laugh:


Q. (Tomas Richtr – TV Nova) To the McLaren drivers: could you please quantify the advantage from the headlights that your team at Woking installed on your car last week?

HK: Yeah, I had a chat about that with my engineer but I still prefer the aerodynamic advantage, so I will keep the lights off.

LH: For me, I thought I needed a bit more downforce, so I've opted to use them.

Nice, good natured interview. The drivers sound excited :D

Is Mark Fogarty on day release from a pre-school or is he just a out and out fool?

I'm surprised DC didn't beat a few shades of something out of him for his rather moronic questions :)
