Video: how to drive a lap of Shanghai, by Tiago Monteiro


Should you ever find yourself in an F1 car at Shanghai, you might wish you’d watched this video…

Chinese GP, 2006: Tiago Monteiro (remember him?), driving a not-very-good Spyker, shows you how to negotiate Shanghai’s wide range of technical corners. Not much scenery to look at though.

Video: how to drive a lap of Fuji, by Adrian Sutil


Force India star gives you heads-up for Sunday’s Japanese GP

Sutil may be a back-marker but he has way more experience at Fuji than most drivers on the F1 grid, thanks to the season he spent racing in Japanese Formula 3, in 2006.

The orange car, in case you’d forgotten already, is a Spyker - remember them? Sutil claimed the now defunct team’s only point of the 2007 season here at Fuji, with an 8th-place finish. He loves the track and may be a good outside bet to again sneak into the points on Sunday.
