German Grand Prix 2013, Nürburgring - Race 9/19

Watching back a clip of the camera man being hit, did anyone else think he was a gonna after that? It looked brutal and those things aren't light :(

Saying Vettel gets all the luck (excluding last weekend) doesn't take into account his KERS issue today. Ok, he held on despite the problem but if he hadn't had the issue he may have cruised home like he did in Canada.

He tends to have more issues when having to go flat out (loose term in 2013 season :p), compared to building up a lead then controlling pace to bring car home.
 
What's to say they won't do that later? Some pit lanes do have the camera above on a rail but you can't magic it all into place overnight.

I'd like to see less people involved too. There seems to be anything up to 20 people around the cars at the minute. 3 per wheel, front and rear jack men plus backups, a guy either side steadying the car, guys cleaning / adjusting the front wings. Very crowded.

Yes it makes for very speedy stops but surely less people involved = less chance of human error, and maybe the teams would think about strategy differently if they were going to lose significant time in the pit lane. Like in the old days...:o

Completely agree with reducing the amount of people working on the cars.

In the interest of producing 'the show' of Formula 1, I would argue they do.

None of the media, TV cameras, commentary, or even fans at the track need to be there for the race to happen, but it would be a pretty boring event from an entertainment prospect.

If Media are confined to the pit wall then I assume this means no interviews with the teams? No ability to go into garages and find out why people retired? No views of pit stops as they happen? Basically Ted and Gary Anderson will be limited to interviewing people on the pit wall and thats about it.

Should be able to go into garages from behind & interview on pit wall. Does seem ott though.
