Title: The Seven-post Rig, how F1 teams refine track set-ups in the factory.

Not the race simulator but another hydraulic/mechanical way to get real time info for car set up changes between practice/Quali/Race sessions, or car set up in general.

Amazing that Alonso recognized Spa just by watching the suspension movement.  :o

Blindfolded and just by sticking his tongue out, Alonso can also tell the weather on the other side of the planet  :P

There was me thinking we might have a discussion about what the backroom boys in race teams get up to, but no we get a Nando sassy ass licking/kicking contest.  :swoon:

I do actually think it is incredible the lengths teams go to in order to get a few tenths of a second more, or in some cases a few hundredths of a second.  Renault are such a slick operation, they deserve better than their engine department of late.
