F1 London Demo - Wednesday 12 July

Nice to see teams members from other teams helping out rival teams/cars.

I'll bet those V8s sound properly loud going between those buildings.

I'm not watching it. Have they got some older cars with V8s?

I was expecting vettel to get booed by all the Hamilton fans. Looks like they're a bit more forgiving

Quite a good show they are putting on for the London crowds!

I saw them in 2004 when they were in Regent st etc and the noise was quite incredible as it bounced off the buildings!

Got it on in the background

No a bad watch so far tbh

shame Lewis isnt there.....vettel doing well compared to stroll anyway

Certainly have.

Oops JB stalled it

[LP670]

Oh dear Jenson, time for an automatic in retirement

Think they missed a trick by not having a couple of the British GP2, GP3 and Porsche supercup drivers demonstrating their cars too

Good old Ricciardo, what a lad!

[Doink]

Imagine the noise and echo of 20 v8s through the streets if we had a London street race, just awesome

'It's time for Max Verstappens favourite band Little Mix'

Just had a quick watch of the live YT stream and it was great to see Jake Humphrey, Brundle and Coulthard reunited on the screen.

The event looked quite good fun.

I'm no fan of Little Mix but this American style event promotion is what F1 should be doing. Imagine a GP with this sort of presentation and some concerts in London (central London, not the Olympic Park). Would be epic and I'm sure this is why Liberty has put it on.

Did I spot Gerhard Berger in a Ferrari race suit?

I went to the event in Regents St in 2004 and would have gone to this one if I'd been in the office.

Brundle said as much that this event was organised by DC and his production team - well done to them.

Whisper Films presumably, which is why Jake Humphrey is involved.

Presumably FOM/Liberty got wind of the BRDC's break clause a couple a months ago and decided to put this on.

[cuprabob]

At least with Little Mix performing the crowds will disperse quickly

[em177]

A London race suddenly looks a possibility doesn't it?

Is there any more F1 stuff after this ? ................if not......stream cancelled

I was wondering the same. It was nice to see the F1 cars but it was a bit tame. They said all 10 teams were there but only 8 cars went out?
