    If the link changes, I'll try to post an updated one on Sunday morning. No promises though, I'm out of town and may not have access by then.

    What I usually do to find a good stream is to go to ustream.com, and search F1. The resulting stream almost never works, but in the commenting thing to the right of the stream there is usually a comment that has a link to a good streaming site for that race. Sometimes it's the site I link above, sometimes it's different.

    I'll do my best to post a link by race's start.

    Ugh allergies making post incoherent.

    I think almost half the drivers got to take advantage of the opportunity to drive the big 'Ring while in Germany. Looks like they had fun. Strange choice of music though...

    Drivers take to the Nordschleife (sorry, can't embed the GPUpdate TV vids)

    I think this next one is the Rosberg-driving-Coulthard ride mentioned in that GPUpdate clip. Pretty funny...Coulthard is like me, not a good passenger, but at least he admits before the ride even starts.

    I love it. As Nico starts saying 270, 280, DC starts to tighten his shoulder straps. Good stuff.

    I was just chatting with on of my new clients yesterday and it turns out he is a huge F1 fan and he live 15 min from the track in Austin. He offered me use of their guest room for the event.

    The Nov date works so much better in so many ways.

    For once, you are mistaken. The truth is I pay good money for people to watch videos of my "whatnot".

    That's just how I roll.

    Lots of pirouettes, too. Such a graceful display. :)

    BTW, did anyone else notice the contrails coming off the McLaren's rear wings on the straights? Some of the other cars had that effect too, but none so pronounced as both McLarens.

    It looked like the McLarens were running a bit more rear wing than some others.

    Have you also noticed that there appears to be a large difference between some manufacturers with the size of the opening in the rear wing when the DRS is enabled? The Redbulls especially have a much larger opening than the rest.
