Im in europe and im glad i can watch it at the normal 2PM time. Come on hamilton!!!
Just my 2c

Know what I forgot that they didn't have any headlights, however I'm sure the streets will be lit plenty as I've heard they have thousands of lights on the circuit.

The cars are a tad ugly though, I warn you.
There's a Koni (production-based) Grand Am race tomorrow too, but Speed isn't airing it until Oct 12th!
anyone else think it is quite interesting that Vettel is also in the clip driving an STR3...?

September 19 2008 at 8:53 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThat got a chuckle judd, so much so I just had to repsond for the first time on the site. That being said, let's hope those three overtaking spots Mark points out in the lap are just that.
And thank you Andy firstly for the post and secondly for a such a succinct response to criticism, well played sir.
@JBob: no, I am not kidding you. A company called Red Bull paid for a fully CGI video clip of the as yet unseen lap of new Singapore circuit with a voice over done by one of their drivers. They put it up on their website to be viewed free of charge. Yet someone else has come along; copied the content and and stuck a ad in the front of it and that is the content that Autoblog chooses to link to.
Does Autoblog get a cut from the ad revenue?
Yeah that's a bit much ajh.
Here's how it went down. I saw the video on SPEED TV's website. Their website had the embed code so I blogged about it.
I can assure you that neither Autoblog nor myself are getting any kind of "ad revenue" from this because its just a common video with an embed code that can be posted anywhere just like you're run of the mill youtube video.
As we all know SPEED (owned by fox) is the broadcaster for F1 so for all we know this could have been something arranged between them.
Any ad revenue from the vid is SPEED's because its their embed code that I got this from. I don't make a single red cent off anything I post on my site and I resent the fact that you would immediately jump to the conclusion that somehow Autoblog or myself pirated something from Red Bull.
Neither Autoblog or myself "copied" this video.
And lets not forget the clear and obvious fact that hey, if we can all clearly see that video features Red Bull's team and also the fact that many people can watch and embed this video....isn't Red Bull getting plenty of exposure from this anyway? Thats the whole reason companies like that do things like this video.
I highly doubt that Red Bull would have this video on their site with a random advertisement for another companies product on it. They're objective is to make sure as many people see their brand as possible. Way I see it Autoblog, SPEED, and myself are all helping that happen.
With that said I'm glad I got the hat tip from Autoblog, thanks for that...and I'm glad that people enjoyed the video.
@ajh
are you kidding me? i just thought it was a cool video. just sit back and enjoy it. and this def got me even more psyched for the race. under the bleachers? THAT is cool!!
