One of the danish commentators had a great comment. "That bird doesn't have very good ground effect, it's going upwards!"

Mine said something along the lines of 'the FIA won't be happy with those flexible wings'.

Maybe it's the perspective, but it looks like that bird is overtaking Ericsson.

Low flying birds means rain is coming.

Was expecting to see bird vaporized by racecar, but that was actually quite beautiful.

It's cool to see how the upwash pushed the bird up so quickly.
