I really liked the cameraman's extensive vocabulary. "Oh, man. Jesus. I got this on tape. Oh man...."

I'm betting there are a few other professionally operated Panavision cameras that caught it as well -- I wonder how long before that footage is released?

Is there something wrong with the way Ferrari's handle? There's got to be something wrong with them (not the driver). Tires maybe? Hmmm....this is strange. Too many crashes recently. I should stick with Lambo dreams!

If you watch almost any movie dealing with driving or even with a street in the foreground or background there always wet.
Its very rare for them to shoot a dry street, when the street is wet it looks better on camera.
Its an old movie trick, light reflects better off the wet street.
Not saying that they never shoot dry, there are some movies.
Go watch Gone in Sixty Seconds, all the streets are wet in that movie.
