Scroll down a bit and you will see two videos. Haven't watched the 2nd one but the first was interesting. You can see the whole car vibrate.

Edit: Second one shows the racing lines of Hamilton and Vettel overlapped.

I think it is interesting how the front wing flexes/wobbles MORE than the front suspension moves. It is amazing the adjustability/performance they have in a car that has nearly zero suspension deflection.

Wow. That is truly amazing. I especially liked the superimposed shot of Hamilton and Vettel. They were saying how Hamilton was consistently quicker than Vettel in that chicane by braking sooner, but after watching that clip; I'd say that Vettel simply overshot and missed the apex. I would have liked to see more video.

Nice vids! Look how much the car bounces after the tire being airborne.

Looks like he had some under steer, yeah missed the apex. You can see he's to deep off line after the first corner and comes back to the left for the second. Real sharp correction to the left.
