Lewis Hamilton's McLaren gets headlamps - funny!

[deadleg6]

Not sure if that's very aerodynamic.

[ginopunsalan]

The cars will have brooms for India.

[channelrafy]

If the lights went out in the Abu Dhabi race...

[chioska14]

That guy who interupted him got fired

[WilderTank]

Only Mclaren & Red Bull are a fun team i reckon

[iiDazZlei]

The aerodynamic drag just doubled

[Dubheification]

oh yeah!is he driven with this lamps?

[aaronbassist146]

@Dubheification

Lol, they would never actually run that. The drag would almost double (as iiDazzei said). I think they could run a practice lap like that just because. =p

[kingsdam1]

Hey guys, this is typical english sense of humour. If you like it, watch 'People like us: Pilots'. There are more examples of such a humour. Enjoy

[SuperPrivate2011]

Whitmarsh does have a sense of humour, even though he worked very closely with Ron for a very long time.

[TestECull]

Funny gag. I think head and tail lights would help F1 though. Embed some LEDs in the leading edge of the front wing and trailing edge of the rear, no aero and no weight penalty, and drivers would be able to see each other through the spray.

[brw147]

@TestECull They already have blinking LEDs on the rear of the cars...

[liamjames9]

did the team do that to pull a prank on the guy talking?

[ampthilluk]

@liamjames9 its an advert... everything is set up and intentional.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

ok.. dip LMAO!!

[WillWorkForCider]

his face when he sees the lights is epic :L

[Lifeofriley18]

I think this copy of the video would be improved if the title didn't give away the punchline...

[tyresmoke]

vodaphone filmed this with a nokia?

[jianh1989]

@tyresmoke how do u know its nokia?

[tyresmoke]

@jianh1989 just guessing because the quality is so bad.

[ThEtErRoRiZeR7r011]

Oh team. You so funny.

Oh mclaren. You so silly

[billbert101]

Man thats so good. Spot on.

[iamnick666]

haha, brilliant..

[powerking230]

jesus mama mia! that's so damn ugly!!

[RyckardPT]

Press 0 to hear a great V8 exhaust note.

[juanrules1992]

hahahahahaha thats a good one.

[badboys7725]

His face in the end is like this -_-

[DIRT21000]

THIS GUY ONLY DOING IS JOB,BERNIE IS A DUM,WHY MAKE INTERVIEW INSIDE OF PITS

[Kimisrcn]

@DIRT21000 you are the biggest dumbass. he is not bernie you smart!! also he did not complain about that..

[nathanong87]

HAHAHA, complete straight face at the end! 

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

Good old British humour :D

[S7r0ng3r]

That, to me raises an important question. What IF the Singapore Circuit suddenly has a blackout? What are drivers to do in that situation?

[supercas46]

@S7r0ng3r There are generators, backup generators and backup backup generators, the chances of a blackout are on a par with Singapore being attacked by Godzilla. In both cases I think a red flag is likely.

[S7r0ng3r]

@supercas46 Red flag for the drivers or Godzilla? ^_^

Anyway thanks for the info mate :)

[gamblemadman]

@supercas46 Haha

[Willis2992]

@S7r0ng3r Red flag, stop the car on the circuit.

[S7r0ng3r]

@Willis2992 thanks for the info ^_^

[djadudeguy]

@S7r0ng3r Stop?

[VicRattlehead425]

hahah that was funny.the reason i respect vodafone mclaren mercedes now again is because of martin whitmarsh. he is such a nice friendly guy, i simply had absolutely no respect for the team when ron dennis was handling the team in f1.

[x420Raptor1]

lol martin looks lie hes dying to burst out laughing the whole way though the video, Hamilton for h win in 2011, come on mclaren.

[cptfunkstar]

Thats well funny! We need to see more of this kind of thing............

[aaasniper97]

this will effect aerodynamics WHO cares

[CjKarter01]

There should be headlights somehow mounted to the cars no races that finish late in the day like Korea, Australia, Brazil, Abu Dhabi... Might even get access to Le Man!...(But please dont tell Bernie -_-' )

[protztom]

Don't show this to Bernie, he might adopt the idea.

[bmancodgta4]

Some people truly do not understand that this is a complete joke... they would never put massive lights on the car, they would never interrupt him with a loud ass tire drill, THATS WHY ITS FUNNY

[bmancodgta4]

LMAO that is AMAZING

[pr3typ0ny]

I like how Martin is giving the mechanist's the stare when he uses the tire gun.

[HousedanceTanL]

hahahahaah most funniest video ever made in Formula 1 :D Martin is great :) Love Mclaren, love Hamilton!

[jbjetairways]

lame

[hanrickjones]

wasnt his reaction like WTF at 01:09

[oseano10]

Yes, the funniest starts at 1:22

[OMGz1122]

"we're pushing hard and i hope the aerodynamicist will appreaciate this" ROFL

[PazzoFerraristaaa]

merde siete delle luride merdeeeeeeeeeeee

[pouria91]

no funny

[range8389]

brilliant!!

[MrSamborasSon]

Fired fired fired fired , you bunch of donkeys are all fired !!! That might have been the afterwards conversation!!!

[julianleeho]

how is this team not the best team in formula 1 of all time? the only time that this team isnt the best was in 2009 cuz i totally loved brawn gp, which doesnt exist anymore. mercedes gp just seems a LOT german so its not brawn gp anymore to me. sorry, im biased and arrogant

[tescogarage]

@Kartmasterlewis obv would slow the car the car down but everyone would have them on therefore it would be fair!!!

[dogboyzz]

0:21 you are fired ¡¡

[KimiHamilton123]

0:23 lmfao

[whuzak]

Gosh i wish i could work for a company like this,it would be a dream come true!

[Brooksy888Whincup]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­haha

[haynet1962]

Very funny!

[pendolinokriscfc]

That is funny, I love it. its good that there is some humour somewhere in F1

[MrPaulous]

well done team

[hoodboi718]

ahahaha. that's so awesome.

[hvf26]

LOL epic

[johncarroza]

now he just needs a radio and power seats.

[xcruzrr6]

The way he keeps a straight face make me crack up. Don't ask me why

[phillipsly]

You wouldnt have found Ron Dennis doing this. Good on you Martin!

[ursavostock]

And anyone who knows aerodynamicists knows just how damn funny that last comment was...

[kartmasterlewis]

By the way if you put headlamps on it, it would not go as fast.

[ashthegreat]

I thought they would put some better aerodynamic headlamps... -.-

[iagoil]

Hilarious!

[swootters]

one day thanks to "health & safety" they will probably have to have lights,indicators even! the drivers will be required to wear those hi-viz jackets....

[TheHendo95]

hahahaha

[TheBusiness55]

Show's Martin's very dry sense of humour... how well does he do looking serious?!

:-)

[RememberToday4ever]

Very funny video. Good luck 2 McLaren, Lewis Hamilton, and Jason Button for 2010 !!!!

[TheDanheathcote]

his name's Jenson not Jason

[rainzoro]

jensen button

[mcneuschris]

This is really superbly funny! Great video!

[lcf34]

LMAO - English humor at its best!

[jpcvr]

ROFL, really love this video.

"hopefully the aerodynamicists can appreciate this" Haha

Thumb up for this video!

For the people thinking this being seriously, watch this 'funny' commercial instead: Fdc4zUosBPw

[jackrandall]

You obviously have no sense of humour then.

[goodhorsehymn]

McLaren? Funny? Crikey.

[Georgeminolta]

malakia

[razzaphere]

this was a test for the singapore grand prix at first

[nike2die4]

it wasnt a real test,it was sort of like a parody with all the hype that was surrounding the night race then.

[GRONHOLMMX]

simply the best F-1's engenier

[SupaSix1]

Whats next? ......Let me guess.

Maybe indicators & a horn?

[Boratlon]

@SupaSix1 A horn! That is genuinely the best idea I have ever heard.

[ursavostock]

"I hope the aerodynamsists will appreciate this..." priceless. They'd appreciate it like they'd appreciate a rhinoceros being duct taped to the side pod. I love how serious he is. And then...fog lamps! Hell those could have been search lights they were so big!

[lhvmm711985]

martin whitmarsh sounds so seriously in the beginning... then 1:00 to the end... awesome!

[DeNicoPeeke]

what a great joke:-)

[GuessWhoIAm03101991]

@DeNicoPeeke hahaha it is not funny at all............

[DeNicoPeeke]

whats not funny about it?At 200mph the lights fly of the car

[Gummby69]

they hit lewis in the head when they do..?

[tafftich]

i like martin whitmarsh-hope he brings alot more success to mclaren-ron was 2 stiff, seemed unapproachable

[rosseaster]

bet tht would have made the areo go shit

[0524Robert]

Egy kicsit lehetne lazább Martin Whitmarsh.

[SuperGreenough]

Nice to see Whitmarsh has a sense of humour!

[RebelliousLeader1995]

I actually think they need to fit headlights to F1 cars for Singapore because i dont think its a night race if the track is lit up by 1000 air raid lights

[charliegaze]

That would be clever! Though I'm not sure Bernie or Max would appreciate it cos the drivers would probably get dazzled.

[vaishakb]

I dont think there was much prob last time around. Now proven that piquet crashed not bcoz of visibility but as told by his team.

[england1965]

It's PROVEN is it ??? - Now that's a strong word for a rumour

[SuperGreenough]

Might aswell be now though ;-)

[tohtorigyro]

the point of the nightrace i my view is to show how great singapore looks at night, and it looks amazing! and it's a whole lot more intresting when everything else is darkness than the track. compared to, say valencia, which is a very similar track but driven at day, valencia is a whole lot more boring to look at.

[xMatt16]

ye it only means sleepier drivers lol

[RebelliousLeader1995]

not necessarily, Le Mans drivers can do it

[Nuchols11]

lemans drivers dont drive the entire 24 hours, they switch off with teammates

[RebelliousLeader1995]

it's still hard to do 2 1/2 hr stints

[SkaTasticMatt]

@RebelliousLeader1995 It's called a night race, not a dark race.

[hinegums]

@RebelliousLeader1995 haha so true

[supercooled]

@RebelliousLeader1995 It may seem like you're speaking tongue in cheek but that's not a bad idea there. If Bernie wants to make it popular he should consider it. The downside to that is there's no way they would rip around the corners at those speeds but I'm willing to sacrifice that to be honest.

[Regret696]

@supercooled No, its stupid. Sorry.

[prattunbc1]

@RebelliousLeader1995

well it looks like they only need 4 of them haha

[sniktun]

@RebelliousLeader1995 night means no sun out, so obv its a night race..... how else would you see going 170 down effectively a street circuit.

[OveragedUser]

@RebelliousLeader1995 Lol dead true yo. SG resident here. :D The cars are more stunning to look at at night.

[urooz]

@RebelliousLeader1995

only reason they need that much light is for tv broadcasting.

[urooz]

@RebelliousLeader1995

only reason they need that much light is for tv broadcast.

[me0wzilla]

lllllllooooooooolllllllll

[VollgasHero]

haha thats pretty awesome. but i thought they were gonna make the lights a little better looking, maybe square and mopre areo dynamic lol. (just a though, still a great video)

[CRICRIJACKSON]

lol. Go go go McLaren Go Martin !

[Jakethedrummer96]

Mclaren have a great sense of humor. Thats why they have so many supporters

[Mongoose1358]

i'm sure the aerodynamicists will appreciate it...

[aghiff]

haha....night race huh

[ukfswmart]

Nice to see Whitmarsh and the guys at McLaren have a fantastic sense of humour!

[YukiNekoPrincess]

@ukfswmart Hah, yeah. Only a British team could make a video like this =P

[MclarenSLR722ftw]

Just improve the car and leave the bullshits XD

I mean it ...

[julianleeho]

they did!

[carsismeZ06]

They really do need to but rally lights like these on there.

[rastamees]

you should have started racing by 4.

you should have raced in f renault by 16.

so...

no

[mjd775]

..youre not too old!! You are just a cunt though!!

[mstavr02]

Actully its designed by adrien newey not redbull :P

[MrNinjaFish]

Would it be actually be possible to install fully functioning lights on the car (e.g they could be incorporated into the design of the side mirrors)?

[JJMetalMad999]

oh yeah, anythings possible with these guys...they could put a fridge on top of the aitscoop if they wanted! but this is a "joke" feature...a bit of a laugh from Mclaren after they suggested the night race.

[MrNinjaFish]

I was being serious.

[blackness010]

i hope they use headlamps like this in nigth race :D

[akeinro]

lol funny is it just me or that f1 look like a rally f1 car lol

[EvtheNev]

Eh its supposed 2 be a joke!

[richardps3maniac]

YOU DOOSH

[Eri777]

lol

[carlozdarkz003]

wahahaha. WTF!

[blazflis]

xDxD cool!!!

[1DX2020]

i didn't get that it was a piss take till the very end...thats some amazing straightface acting by whitmarsh !!! excellent!

[nickglotus]

Excellent more of the same please.... please....

[tycoonpratik]

Its funny how a drinks company, Red Bull, makes faster cars than giant car manufacturers like Toyota, BMW, Ferrari and mclaren. Is that the pinnacle of motorsport? Really?

[DontForgetOldKolobok]

there just a sponsor, its not like the pitcrew is made up of redbull marketing exec's...there highly skilled mechanics.

[Tifosi2003]

More like Engineers :). Most have a Masters if not even a PhD in Engineering

[willfaz07]

you dick, redbull just sponsor it, renault make the car...

and what about Brawn?? they dont make softdrinks...

[rockplannet1]

No that is wrong. The engine is Renault in the red bull car... the same way Williams uses a Toyota engine... that doesn't mean the team is toyota.

Red Bull make the car. Designed by the red bull team, built & run by the red bull team.

If I use your way of thinking... Brawn is actually Mercedes. Which isn't true.

[nsxrebel]

BrawnGP's car is actually a Honda, powered by Mercedes. ;)

Go Killer Bees! Button, Barrichello, Brawn!

[SuperGreenough]

Dude, Get your facts straight before you post.

Red Bull Racing - Owned by Red Bull, designed by Red Bull, Powered by Renault

Brawn - Designed when the team was known as Honda, Powered by Mercedes

[willfaz07]

"DUDE"..

I'M A SURFER... YEAH!

[tmat56]

So you really think the drivers at the back of the grid are just there because they aren't "good". Haha you have a lot to learn about racing in general there friend.

[JeefCakes]

Adrian

Newey

[json8tr]

its like the office meets F1!! LOL

[pakkinen]

hahahaha. It is just great.

[tmat56]

I just wish people would stop bashing America by comparing NASCAR to Formula 1. I'm American, i fucking hate NASCAR but its in a totally differet class. Why not compare the Champ Car Series we had? and its mostly English people on here putting us down, F1 was started by the French.

[dari32cd]

jajjajajaaj con la parrilla de faros

[julianleeho]

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­

[grybold]

Certainly British humor. If an American team had made the video it would have actually been funny.

[tepc90]

get fucked. if an american team had made it then there would be four quarter pounders on the front of it.

[fpstina]

i like your first sentence, second one not so much.

[primussucks]

agreed. fucking yanks don't know shit about f1

[tmat56]

I'm American but that's a horrible joke you've made. thats like saying there should be tea and bisquits on the car because its an English team.

[kozadongre]

yes bisquits......

[tmat56]

yes sorry, lol by the time I realized that is was too late.

[TBS30STM]

hahahahaha good comment man

[lambie1985]

ur comment is fuckin hilarious lol

[tmat56]

Hey and you guys need to fuck off, don't go around judging all Americans, I'm heavily in the racing field, and will be driving later this year, i have yet to even think about going to a lame NASCAR race. I just got back from 12 hours at Sebring which in my opinion is one of the best races that exist. Sebastian Bourdais was there as well as many other people. Stop being ignorant.

[tepc90]

an american accusing others of igorance? haha fuck me thats insanely rich. now go jump back in your goldfish bowl.

[tmat56]

Yes, I'm American and Im a bit mroe educated then the ones that you porbably have already spoken to. Your comment was funny but it was a bit on the stereotypical side, We are not the only country that eats burgers. We invented it yes, but you don't see the italians teams with Pizza's on their teams now do you? I called you ignorant because you obviously do not know a damn thing about American motorsports, especially if you think of NASCAR.

No you dont, but then again, it wasnt an italian who insulted british humour, it was an american. You're right, i dont kn
