G'day all..

Just got home now, haven't read any posts yet and I'm going to bed now, but my God, what a race! and what a weekend! I'll upload all my vids/pics a little later, tho they're not that good.

Ohh the mood in the Schumacher stand (where I was) was jovial...not! I love my Mclaren hat :P

you british guys, if your not prepaired to pay the 90 odd quid for race day at silverstone, i really suggest you get your ass down there on the friday, for aprox 25 quid, its a bargin to see f1 cars... and now a qualifying sesion, however, you may see less F1 action (in terms of laps) than in previous years

I wonder if anybody cares to read posts of others before replying:

this piece of information provided by Mika in his first post above does give a clue where he "snapped them":

Schumacher stand (where I was)

Schumacher Stand Schumacher is located on turn 15 as the cars prepare for the final turn into pit straight.

Wow that must have been a great place to watch. The cars look awesome through the last corner, then you get the full blast of the exhausts as they head off down the straight!

i was waiting for you to say that, but the fact is a GP weekend is much better than a test sesion where they just drone round, + you get the people, the atmosphere the support package, the mercandise stalls, and the most important thing being the atmosphere and buz you get, silverstone on a wet (or dry) june of febuary day doesnt compere.....

incodently im phoning tomorrow to see whos testing this week, i doubt anyone, but its open for testing
