Found this earlier, Its the full FP1 session from Sepang 2008 from me watching it live & using the interactive feeds that were available on on Premiere Sport:
That method charging intrigues me. Could a car theoretically be charged while on the move if a rail similar to the pad described was embedded in the road?

Yup, other ways too like using the up and down movement of the suspension.
For those with sky.
The BBC red button is back on Channel 980
There is some red button recordable coverage on Sunday from 12:55pm and race analysis and discussion (assume this is the forum) from 3:30pm
Interesting Drivers press conference today with some good mixed questions from young drivers to Underpants. They all seemed very happy and relaxed too, the break has revitalised them then.
Also, for many F1 viewers on here including Myself, an interesting article from the BBC on recent research for watching sport at the same time on multiple devices.
They call it 'Programme packing', never heard that before, here
Media coverage. There's far more coverage of anything dramatic in f1 than any other form of motorsport
Yes, but that's peripheral. It will have no *actual* effect. Besides, no parent would let their kid of that age race if they were comfortable enough with the risks. Parental consent would be required IMO.
I think there's an element of missing the point with Max V (surely I've just created a twitter handle for him or something?).
There isn't any real need to get drivers younger and younger because with the sport being safer and safer their careers were getting longer and longer anyway, assuming they started at the same age without starting even younger.
I'm sure he'll be prepared enough and good enough to be at least competent, and probably even better than just competent.
I would ask though - what's the rush? He could race well into his mid-30's, in F1, if he proves good enough and hungry enough. What difference does it make to get him in at 17 that can't wait till 19, 20, and a few more championships and F1 testing miles and more exposure to the race team under the belt?
Is it about what's good for the driver or what's good for proving the academy works?
I don't think people that age can be mature enough. They can show maturity above and beyond what their age would suggest, but inevitably there will be decisions and reactions to things that happen which aren't ideal.
obviously I can't explain any exact situation, it's merely an opinion.
As you get older you realise how daft you seemed when you were younger
I reckon it would be awesome! Can't find a link i'm afraid but there was quite an in-depth BBC News feature (I don't _think_ it was part of Click) on the technology. They can be set-up to "lock" on to a target moving object and then track it semi-autonomously.
Keeping up is the first obvious issue but they don't need to fly the circuit - an inner-loop would do...
08:15 to 09:00 - Practice 1 (01:15 UK)
10:30 to 11:00 - Practice 2 (03:30 UK)
12:00 to 13:05 - Qualifying (05:00 UK)
16:00 to 17:00 - Race (09:00 UK)
What I think will happen is that ITV will broadcast qualifying highlights in the race build-up for Beijing/China and Putrajaya/Malaysia and look at the viewing figures before deciding for the remainder of the year in more favourable timezones.
08:15 to 09:00 - Practice 1 (10:15 UK)
10:30 to 11:00 - Practice 2 (12:30 UK)
12:00 to 13:05 - Qualifying (14:00 UK)
16:00 to 17:00 - Race (18:00 UK)
Viewing figures may dictate ITV's approach, but if viewing figures are good for rounds one and two, broadcasting Qualifying live for round three onwards (or on a tape-delay immediately before the race broadcast) might well happen.
The qualifying session does have a press conference straight after it, so one assumes a feed will be produced for broadcasters to pick up, if they so wish.

can you imagine what would happen if there was a serious accident during testing and a 14 year old was killed?

Well, of all people, you should know.

VMax seems punchier
Indeed
A 16 year old who knows how to use Twitter? Wow, I'm shocked.
I'm looking forward to Formula E - is there qualifying session coverage as well as the race?

And Ted reports that Max Chilton will be driving from Practice 2.
Del boys bar tab, says Ted.
Perhaps they do not have the rights.
Probably more down to BBC running practice as a smaller production.
The ones at Rivage were switching back and forth from 'Pirrelli' to 'P-Zero'.
