You guys are most certainly welcome. The best part is having those videos and knowing I shot them. The bad part is you really don't get a feel for what the cars can do. The braking and acceleration of the cars is simply amazing.
Coming off turn 1, the left-hander into the Senna Corner, there's a space of about 3-4 car lengths (at least that's what it looks like). In that space, the drivers would get off the brakes and with just a flick of their foot, they'd accelerate into Senna, brake into the left-handed u-turn/hairpin and then rocket away. This was my first F1 race and I was shocked to say the least.
The other thing that was surprising, coming into turn 1, if the drivers missed their braking point by a few feet, they would lock up one of the front tires, can't remember left or right. But with that lock-up, it would cause them to miss the turn into Senna and cause them to go off into the grass. Alonso had that happen twice in the race, the second time allowing Massa to pass him. I mean, pushing as hard as they can into that corner, missing the brake mark by 1-2-3 feet and they were off into the grass.
