There's also sports car races and track days with heavier cars at COTA, even in the heat of summer. Even though they went 8ft (I think?) deep, the ground underneath it is known to shift around.
The shimmy between 18 and 19 was the most noticeable on the Yamahas and Suzukis, the Ducs, KTMs, Aprillas didn't seem to be impacted as much, as least, from the spectator perspective.
They also had a hell of a flood a few years back the weekend after a torrential downpour on F1 weekend. I would not be surprised if that had a negative impact.
Trust me, its the 3-4 tons of downforce thats doing most of that dammage not the heravy cars. Hass, a kinda mid pack team....is pulling 8g's in places. EIGHT!

It's even better that Porsche isn't in any top-tier racing series right now. "Hey guys, so, what should we do until this Formula E thing starts?" "How about we go around Spa faster than a Formula 1 car, ja?" "Ja!"
I mean, its practically your run of the mill VW 2.0t.
The 2.0-liter internal combustion four-cylinder engine was also massaged for higher performance, with the tweaks netting an additional 220 horsepower on top of the stock 500 for a total of 720 horsepower.

I haven't read much of the aftermath, but it looked like a racing incident. Hard to pick out who was closest to screwing up the most. It sucks that it has a big impact on the championship, but the season is still young.

Racing incident for sure. Pedrosa could’ve exercised a bit more patience. Jorge ran a soft front to get on tv and turned into a road block. Other than that, I’m not sure what anyone could’ve done differently.
As the only published author in a well-known motorcycle publication in the room...

Saw an article earlier today that F1 TV is launching this weekend?? I might be interested in that depending on price.
ESPN’s rebroadcast of Sky Sports F1’s UK coverage is more than fine. It’s also commercial free for the balance of the season so I’d just DVR it if it’s not watchable live.
