Newey probably wants to make an F1 car that can surf, so they're using Toro Rosso as a Guinea pig.

or F1 wants a "beach circuit"

Also, they didnt really give it much publicity; and I think what they were after was the record of going over 180kph on the beach.

Didd they?

According to the news reports, yes they did.

Judging by how I still have beach sand in my car from... last yr; i think they'll NEVER get the sand completely out

Why did they do this??

Nobody knew exactly what their plan was. In fact, when Jaime went INTO the water everyone was completely stoked and surprised!

Also, they didnt really give it much publicity; and I think what they were after was the record of going over 180kph on the beach.
But I guess they just want to show how EXTREME they are. Must be part of their marketing strategy...
whatever the reasons... it was awesome.

Did he put his wet tyres on?

Newey wanted to quit F1 and build sail boats (America's CUP) I believe at one time.

It would be nice to get some good HD picks from that for wall paper. Especially the first shot with the car in the lower left and beautiful beach behind..

NS what a horrendous job that would be as a total dismantling would be in order.

Could ask the Virgin or HRT to help out. They must be experts of getting grass/gravel and all that off their cars by now
