Incredible racing footage

You all have to check this out, even if you're not a car enthusiast (includes you, Kristen!). This is footage of the last lap of the most recent Formula 1 race. It's in car footage of Felippe Massa in a Ferrari against Robert Kubica in a BMW. It was raining a fair bit, and the track is soaking wet. This has to be the most incredible racing F1 has seen in decades. These cars have close to 800 horsepower, and weigh just 1200 lbs, with driver. To put that into perspective, a Corvette Z06 has 500 hp and weighs over 3000 lbs. The F1 cars are by far the most technoligically advanced cars in the world, though they do not have driver aids like ABS brakes or stability control (they do have traction control, however). http://motorsportmad.com/view/2348/sensational--massa-and-kubica-battle-end-of-japanese-gp
