F1 Track Simulator Mark Webber at Istanbul

Mark Webber shares his strategies for the Turkey Grand Prix.

The custom-built Red Bull Racing simulator puts the driver on a 10-foot, hydraulically-controlled hexapod. Atop this platform is a 180 degree screen fed by three projectors, along with an exact recreation of the RB6 cockpit. All of these elements combine to create one of Formula One's most advanced simulators.

@ThatRussianguy100 Man I really hope McLaren and Ferrari can pull something out in the 2nd half. It would be nice to see Alonso and Hamilton mix it up at the front with Vettel because I really feel like those 3 are the class of the field. I think it would just be a pleasure to watch those guys fighting for race wins and the championship like last year again.

@ThatRussianguy100 Dude his retardation is uncanny. It was fun calling him out on his stupidity at first, but the dumb comments just kept coming. It wasn't even fun any more, it's just sad. Not suprised he's saying the same stuff on other videos. I kinda feel bad for the kid ........

@drloveparty The new exhaust regs may shake things up a bit. I really believe RBR's advantage is entirely down to their front wing though. I've heard people say they are doing something with their blown diffuser and DRS that gives them the edge in quali, and that may be true. But their front wing gives them more downforce than any other team with no drag penalty. That gives them a massive edge over the other teams.

And hell yeah I'm a BoSox fan baby! They murdered Milwaukee today!

[drloveparty]

@rsoxboy onto a not unrelated topic, Red Bull may lose their qualifying advantage when the new blown diffuser regulations come into effect. many people think their main advantage in qualifying has to do with the way they are using the blown diffuser and hopefully McLaren can catch up to RBR to make the 2nd half of the season more interesting.

and are you a Red Sox fan out of curiosity?

[rsoxboy]

@drloveparty So yeah, figure that 2.5% weight advantage is going to show itself more in qualifying when the car is at its lowest weight. It's one of those deals where someone might look at it and think "Well 30 lbs out of 1364 won't make a big difference." But at the F1 level it's makes a HUGE difference. And Mark doesn't want to lose weight. It's probably because he believes his fitness would suffer. But yeah it's a bit of a bummer that Mark isn't doing as well this year.

@rsoxboy just googled Webber and Vettel's weights. i don't know how current or accurate they are but it will give us a picture of what's happening. Vettel was listed at 58 kg or 128 lbs, Webber is listed at 75 kg or 165 lbs. Vettel is almost 40 lbs lighter than Mark! you can safely call that 35 lbs on any given day. an F1 car must weigh 620 kg or 1364 lbs, so Vettel has freedom to put 2.5% more of the car's weight wherever he needs it.
