Too bad none of us had Flip HD cams back in those days. I was there too by Turn 1 and I saw it all happen in front of me. Would have made a sweet upload. All my pics are of the immediate aftermath of the crash. 2 GB SD cards weren't so cheap then for me to take both pics and movies, so all I had were pics in a 512 MB card :(
From what I hear in this video is cheering for the start of the race and the first turn as well as part of the second turn; the cheering in the second turn stopped once Heidfeld began flipping, then you hear a bunch of "oh's" in a verbal retaliation to the circumstances of that crash. It's pretty simple to hear, turn up your volume if you have to hear better-nobody was actually cheering for the carnage...
the person you hear mostly is my friend....we drove 12 hours and no sleep just to see this race....BELIEVE ME, he DOES NOT CHEER FOR CRASHING! Check your facts dickhead
Must be so disappointing for a racer to crash on the first or second corner on the first lap! That always happens at the Grand Prix down here in Australia, cars going all over the place at the first corner!
Sorry for my a little bit excessive comment. You seem to be very mature for your age and what you've just said :) Personally i hate it too when people just get excited by crashes and start to yell :o Anyway next year we'll see USGPE team :) Also i really don't know how the F1 will look like with the budget cut ...
Still, there are more people at this F1 race than you get at many other venues across the world, it just looked empty on TV because the place seats 250,000 and had an attendance of 125,000. But you are right, F1 isn't even a blip on the radar in the US. To manwithface10 - I don't know if F1 knows how to run a race either but at least I watch the races - don't watch Nascar.
Bull shit, NASCAR is all about passing, I am a 16 year old boy who has been watching NASCAR since I was in diapers. I tried to get into F1, but was literally bored to tears with them playing follow the leader the whole race.
We are all entitled to our own opinion. If you like nascar better thats fine. I generally prefer f1 but I like any form of motorsports (including nascar). I think that argueing about which is better is useless.
F1 is completley different then nascar. There is no point in comparing them, they both have their positives and negatives. So anyway.....
@H3Forge okay but watching cars go around a circle gets a little redundant after the.. oh lets say 400th lap... f1 is the highest form of motorsport. while nascar takes skill to drive so close to cars far that long, but the passing is a little boring sense their full throttle for 3/4s of the lap and only turning left..
My mind has changed over the past years haha. I actually like Formula One now, and now notice it as the Pinnacle of Motorsports. Although I still do love NASCAR with a passion, I can respect F1 now, and the passing in NASCAR can be exciting, especially the last few laps when the drivers start to get aggresive!
@H3Forge i do agree the closing laps of any motorsport are amazing to watch. especially nascar and indycar where all the cars are the same spec. so its extreamly close through all the laps. it takes tremendous skill to drive a fragile car so fast with so many other cars inches way from you. i enjoy watching the first 40-60 laps and the last 50 laps of nascar, so i do enjoy the action, but i personally find how long the races are a little rednundant. but thats my personal opinion.
@H3Forge but theres something about watching cars go around corners faster than any other car car in the world, just keeps me excited even though the cars might not be as close to each other like they are in other sports. but its personal opinion again.
I'm American, and most of our motorsport fans are NASCAR fans. A lot of people watch NASCAR for the crashes. Considering the dangers of F1, it's idiotic to cheer crashes - something I really don't like about fans in this country.
I watched it from the jumbotron @ Terrace 10. I was told before the race by Scott Speed's friends as a bought a T-shirt that he had a surprise at the beginning race, they weren't kidding.
