I love that last corner
The last corner on the Gilles V. circuit is amazing. I just love watching the way those guys can control the cars at those speeds and come ooooo so close to hitting the wall. Vic Rauter (TSN) would say Wow! every time someone was within 6" of the wall.
Monaco has some nice corners an such but I don't think any of them have the TV camera angle to make them breath taking. From that front shot the camera makes the turn look so much tighter than it really is. WHen/if I make a trip to Montreal I am going to spend one of the practice sessions just watching that corner.
Alas it also has claimed some cars. RB's mishap didn't look so bad as the rear took most of the brunt but Heidfeld's - OOOUCH!. See the way his head was "bouncing around like a pinball in an arcade" [to quote John Watson]
Anyone have some nice pics of drivers "kissing" the wall but not injuring the car?
