We can only hope it leads to a further reduction in Santander market share and customers.

Formula one really doesn't make it easy for anyone to like Formula 1 unfortunately!
Very true, whilst the racing can be good the rules often seem designed to confuse.

You haven't used them recently have you? We moved our CA there earlier this year and later took out some ISAs. Best CA available, excellent savings rates and not a foot put wrong at any time in the account change over or since. Streets ahead of our previous high street bank in every way.

Anyway, where were we?

I'm watching FP1 on time delay and Crofty has asked Bruno Senna how much data he thinks a F1 team gathers per car per race weekend.

Bruno speculates that it's around 1TB

Crofty replies "well, I don't know about that - that's all over my head. But I've been told it's around 200 feature films".

So Bruno is pretty much bang on the money then.

Crofty then says that it would take a while to watch 200 films too. tt.

It's a flawed assumption. You don't watch the raw data like a film in real time, any more than you would watch hits on your website tick up in real time - you generate a graph.

As a coder I can easily generate gigabytes of raw data in a very short period of time then analyse the parts I'm interested in in a matter of minutes.

Maybe I'm being a bit hard on him though.

This Ted Kravitz interview with Bernie is slightly awkward.

I can easily believe that it's a TB of raw data. If you consider how many sensors are on the car and that they're probably sampling each many times a second, then it will mount up very quickly.

As Bruno pointed out, they won't have the bandwidth to transmit that in real time but after each session they'd download the raw data by plugging in.

Bruno seems pretty switched on technically.

Too right. And Martin is bang on the money by criticising it and saying that conversations like that should be behind closed doors.

If you didn't catch the interview, Sky have just posted it.

Why do F1 teams follow pretty much the same programme as each other during practice sessions?

The only time a Bernie interview isn't awkward is when Brundle does it, Bernie seems to have a respect for him and talks fairly openly. All the other press seem to get the duff or controversial answers just to keep them happy.

This one was particularly awkward.

Watch it if you haven't. It's only 3-4 mins long.

Martin's full comment was that this is the kind of conversation that should be had behind closed doors with all interested parties in attendance - engineers, Team Principals, etc., and not in public like that.

I couldn't agree more.

The best part was when the promoter mentioned the noise from the Red Bull demo...

He clearly was uncomfortable about being roped in. He evidently has a shred of dignity, unlike Bernie.
