    Research shows that most of "natural talent" is actually the desire to do one thing to the exclusion of others for a very long time... combined with the access to be able to do whatever that thing is. All F1 drivers have that to one degree or another.

    As most of us know, drivers that get to F1 these days have dedicated as much time to racing as their families could afford for many years---often starting as small children. And the families have the financial means or special access to do it. Even someone growing up relatively modestly, like Hamilton, had special access through his father's out of the ordinary commitment of a significant percentage of his modest resources and time-- which combined with his son's drive to practice and excel-- then led to McLaren noticing.

    That oil pressure I'm willing to believe. :)

    On paper it sure "looks" unlikely to be able to detect such a small differences from videos that low quality/framerate. But by comparing those videos difference looks very noticeable. I agree being able to differentiate 15 ms lag from zero lag by comparing videos with quality that low doesn't sound believable though. Perhaps McLaren simulator has more lag than that. Doesn't look bad/undrivable by all means but could/should be better IMHO.

    VR as usual posted a news about him driving Pcars and not posting any news about him driving rf1 or rf2 and in the end of their news about Pcars the usual link about Pcars purchase link!
    Wonder why VR isn't posting rf2 or AC ..... Purchase links like they do with Pcars news!

    I meant that as atmospheric pressure to your question of what's the air pressure outside. :)

    And of course making that point clear does not detract from the fact the boys got skillz.

    Heh, nice. :) Applied those moves in real F1 race.

    Is it iRacing or rF2 by the way?

    yes it is Iracing, spa ( about my most favourite track especially for the f1) was last weeks track in the Gran prix Williams FW31 series
    ( track changes each tues )

    they could have been in private testing though, as Monza isn't until next week

    Shame that his overtake into les combes only worked ingame, and not in with raikkonen in the final lap :)

    PS: what would charlie (whiting) have to say about the parabolica (final turn of monza) going onto the astroturf ;) I think he shouldn't practice that line to much :p

    Would be awesome if we'd have Spa made by the ISI track team.
    Loads of known series race there ( F1, WEC, WSR, Blancpain, etc...)and it is an iconic track anyways.
    Just call it Belgium GP or something. ;)
