Really enjoyed this video, lots of information. This is the kind of stuff that F1 teams need to share with fans.

This is a great series. Thank you for showing us the engineering science in these incredible machines.

Just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better. Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
