I also agree.

As a rallycross and autocross driver and instructor, I don't have a lick of F1 driving experience... but I know a bit about cars and handling.

This was a lack of experience with a VERY tricky class of car to drive. F1 cars are horrible beasts and extremely demanding. I would guess that one contributing factor (beyond lack of very fine throttle control by the driver) was that the tires were not yet warm.

F1 tires need to be warm. Very warm. Hot. You have to drive them hard to get them hot. Until then, they're not sticky. Whenever a driver pulls out onto the track, their tires are NOT up to optimal temperature. They have to carefully nurse the car through the first few corners, pushing hard enough to heat up the tires... not too hard, or they'll spin/slide... not too gentle, or they won't heat up the rubber.

It's a tough game.

This is in Ireland, not Asia...

Regardless, the video sure bring a smile to your face. I'd give you a promote if I have the power.

Thanks, I may need to self- *promote if I have the power...

This needs to make the front page, and it needs to make it to number 1.

If only people could watch it without passing out.

Fine... *promote then!

I just got linked this on Youtube. *wtf siftbot!

Oooo, power points... can I *promote ?

This is awesome!
I recognize the guys from the old commercials.
It would be great if they aired this as campaign ad on tv during super bowl

I certainly hope the campaign is over before the Superbowl!

He's probably a registered voter, too.

Pretty sure it's India, and it's been sped up.

oh I do not BELIEVE you beat me to post this!

DAMN YOU!

For this, I will only give ONE upvote.

while a decent actress and fairly cute (not that the outfit or angle does her any favors) this fell totally flat for me on a number of levels, the writing, the delivery, etc...
I've got as big a hard on for Obama as most here on the sift do, but this video struck me as lame and amateurish.

Yeah, but... she said FUCK!!

the fake fall; the slight zoom as the incident occurs; the perfect calmness of the camera person; the underreaction of the bridesmaids; the lack of swearing; the priest seems iffy; most of all, how fake it is really cinches it for meh

This.. the whole things seems a setup.. one Bridesmaid? One Groomsman? The pratfall... Really does ring fake.


I see multiple bridesmaids in yellow.
