Don't think much of the new pit lane entry

Sodemo · 20 Oct 2006, 09:32 (Ref:1742857)

I wonder if he is lost and is trying to find the track?

Man with brollie walking across the road just as car comes into view is an image that will stay with me forever.

But he never even glances back - "An F1 car on the streets - now there's someting you see every day"

Liked the 80k's sign.

Lucky bugger

Imagine the driver,say in fourty years time,down at his local pub.

"I drove an F1 car through the streets of Sao Paulo once you know"

reply: "Yeah right!"

Well, he certainly ruined the "back to home" of thousands having the 23 de Maio avenue blocked only for him... but it was a great show indeed.

Oh, and he was nowhere near Interlagos, some of that cops should give him directions and fine him for speeding

I love the fact that the public seem not to care about an F1 car racing down their street. Was that someone firing an extinquisher at the end of the run?

I was about to post the same thing.

Makes me laugh, they have a parade in Regents Street and they shut half of the west end down and in Brazil you have people walking across the roads and traffic on the streets. Incredible, but good to watch.

Thought i spotted that too. Man, Red Bull must really have some cooling problems what with that amount of rain too

**Bononi** · 20 Oct 2006, 20:15 (Ref:1743528)

Yep, they were using the fire extinguisher...

Knowlesy · 20 Oct 2006, 20:17 (Ref:1743531)

Quirky stuff!

Matski · 20 Oct 2006, 20:19 (Ref:1743534)

I expect Red Bulls Lawyers and insurance people were crapping out diamond's while that was happening.

They have closed one way of one of the biggest avenues of São Paulo. The comments above the video are pretty harsh on that...

Knowlesy · 20 Oct 2006, 20:28 (Ref:1743541)

So presumably there has been outrage over this then?

**Bononi** · 20 Oct 2006, 20:38 (Ref:1743544)

Uhn... Actually I took sometime reading that blog, and I made a little mistake, people were not going back to home, but "going to work", because "the ride" happened at 5:30 AM, and it happened after postponed for one day because of the rain. They considered an absurd and no respect with the population...

some people had to wake up early to watch it and there were delays in public transport, nothing new in a big city. One of them made a joke about why they don't allow a stock car team do the same in the race weekend. The biggest complaint is that they didn't tell the population about "the ride". People waited that for the prior day and nobody really bothered to announce it was canceled and then it happened the next day.

The bit i was refering to Bon was the Red Bull was just about to go under one of the underpasses, and admittedly the (F1) car was the only thing on the carraigeway but there were cars moving on the slip road.

Unfortunately i can't read Portugese * so didn't know what was said above the clip.

* I'm assuming it's in Portugese (?)

**Bononi** · 20 Oct 2006, 21:06 (Ref:1743568)

It's basically what I said in my previous post, and yep that's portuguese.
