[samarpan007]

I love the sound of that engines.... the v10 engine...the real sound of f1

[govedar4o]

Arrows left f1 in the German grand prix

[ardoalg]

mad skillz

[MihalisNavara]

My favourite f1 car ever!

[patrickcramer]

1:03 was that a spit?

[HMJogMDG]

Sauber is a very good team, thanks for the lap Frentzen! =-)

[stealthysmirth]

Worst Youtube Video Ever!

[b4n5h33]

frentzen has been one of my favorite drivers after 1997 season.

[hhJACK92]

From what I recall, Massa caused an avoidable accident in the previous race so was handed a 10 place grid penalty for this event. So to avoid the penalty, Sauber simply chose to stick Frentzen in instead.

[garethkielty]

is it me or does the car pull to the left down the straight

[mattsvrguy]

The car has oversteer because they were probably using a low downforce set up

[TheMond20]

It´s true that these recordings are from 2002, because HHF´s starting number is 8. In this race he replaced Felipe Massa.

In his complete F1 season 2003, HHF had the starting number 10.

[Rascasseman]

Wow that car is oversteering a lot!

[keytek9]

damn that car ovesteers on the corners but rewards him on the straight

[Mathezzeli]

it´s year 2002 because H.Frentzen replaced F. Massa only for last 2 races of season 2002.

[09Murphy09]

All of Sauber's cars were awful, until they were taken over by BMW.

[GTAstuntz]

@09Murphy09 Not really, Sauber had been a consistent midfielder from 2001-2004. But i agree that once BMW took over things got better.

[mackey12160204]

is this qualify lap?

[3214342]

Dab of oppo.

[mrhighspeedtrain]

very rare footage sloppy lap

[mcbeaulieu]

I did record every practice session from SpeedTV's broadcast, and there were MANY onboards. I'd post some of them, but I don't want t risk anything about copyrights :P

[deshielo27]

try to avoid "f1" "formula 1" "formula one" as titles or as a tag. Thats what i did and just got one deleted vid by copyright.

[mcbeaulieu]

Thanks for the tip :) I'll open a new account to try it out :D

[mcbeaulieu]

Here I am, check user INDYFAN33. That's my test account :)

[damiannerd]

i'm not sure what year i know he was at sauber in 03 but he raced a one off in 02

[craigSimons00]

This might actually be 2002 though. Remember Heinz-Harald Frentzen took Felipe Massa's seat for the USA gp in 2002 because Massa had been banned for one race after dangerous driving or something like that.

[BrokenBaculum]

This is actually 2003. Great video though.

[deshielo27]

Thanks.

Im not 100% shure but i think the last year that they used this tv style was 2002.

[DominarTyranT1]

@deshielo27 of course it was 2002, Frentzen did his came back here at Indy '02 and finished 3rd the next year at Indy.

[AsiChicky]

@deshielo27 maybe he thinks cause frenzen was in arrows but they just drove the first twelve and in USA he drove in massas car

[YklausK]

@deshielo27

it is from 2002. frentzen was doing one race for sauber in 2002 (after the end of arrows) cause massa was suspended (or so).

[blainyrules]

@deshielo27 It's 2003. Frentzen was at Arrows in 2002.

[deshielo27]

@blainyrules no. look at the comments below. And also look at the begining of the video, you can see the copyright and this confirms that the video was created in 2002. And i downloaded in 2002.

[Blindkiller64]

@deshielo27 In fact he was driving instead of Felipe Massa during this GP.

[BrokenBaculum]

@deshielo27 Thanks for clearing that up. Serves me right for being a smart-arse!

[MaxMSC97]

@blainyrules

After the collapse of Arrows, Frentzen signed a deal with Sauber for 2003, then in Italy Massa got 10-place grid penalty for the next race at USA. So Sauber decided to invite Frentzen to drive at States in order to avoid Massa's grid penalty.

By the way, there was no digital coverage since 2003.

[ZotalentNL]

@blainyrules: He drove one race in 2002 for sauber (the 2002 USA GP, this one). Check wiki.

[xeenoon]

@blainyrules Yes but, Arrwos went bankrupt after the France GP......then Frentzen moved to Sauber F1 ;)

[darthbandon10]

@blainyrules Frentzen replaced Massa (who was banned for one race due to sideswiping Pedro de la Rosa at Monza).

[ninchin2]

@blainyrules Frentzen replaced Massa for this race at Sauber Arrows were bankrupt at the French gp

[CS7793]

@BrokenBaculum I understand why you would assume this was 2003, but it could be 2002. Remember, back in 2002 Felipe Massa had a one race suspension and he was not allowed to take part in the USA GP that year. Heinz Harald Frentzen was avialable as the team he had been driving for, Arrows, had pulled out earlier in the season due to fiancial difficulties. So Sauber hired him for that one race.

[BrokenBaculum]

@CS7793 Cheers buddy. At the time of writing the memory of Massa's 2002 ban had slipped my mind. So I assumed, possibly wrongly, that it was 2003. It doesn't really matter anyway, I'm just thankful that we still have an opportunity to enjoy this footage. Heinz-Harald was an incredibly under-rated driver, and it was good to see him back in a Sauber.

[CS7793]

@BrokenBaculum Yeah! He underperformed at Williams in my opinion, but he more than made up for it at Jordan! :)

[Jejking]

@BrokenBaculum Wrong. 2002. First time for Sauber in 2002, he subsituted for Massa who had a big penalty for colliding with de la Rosa in Monza where he wrecked his suspension. After that HHF got a contract.

[PowerOfTheColours]

@BrokenBaculum it's 2002. Frentzen replaced massa for 2 races.

[MaxMSC97]

@PowerOfTheColours

For one race.

[AshBob101]

@BrokenBaculum Its 2002 when Arrows folded after the German Grand Prix and Frentzen did a one off drive replacing Massa at the US Grand Prix for Sauber :)

[jc790]

@BrokenBaculum

No it very well could be 2002. Frentzen replaced Massa for the 2002 Indianapolis Grand Prix.

[Smiffyalltheway]

@BrokenBaculum No, this is 2002. Frentzen did drive for Sauber in the 2003 season and drove for Arrows in 2002, but when Arrows went bust after the German GP Frentzen was without a drive and replaced Massa once in 2002, for this race, the US GP.
