Like the Renault pic the best, I think it must be the shooting angle that makes it. Did you get wet in the small erm... shower!!

Shower? what shower was that I seem to recall torential rain, strong winds, and having to shelter next to a beer stall ;) 10 minutes later it was beautiful sunshine and within 30 mins we were dry.

:) Nice pictures, well done.

Looks like you had a pretty good place to shoot from there Rob :thumbs: Better than you'd ever get at Silverstone on race day! Some good shots too, esp like Kovaleinen's Renault :thumbs:

All those shots look to be a nice sunny day though :shrug: Didn't get to see the race as I was on hols but the story I heard was that it was torrential rain with cars spinning off everywhere? So what happenend? What's the story with Hamilton's qualifying crash and The Alonso / Massa row?

[Evil X]

Amazing pictures mate,

Love the Hamilton one ;)

[R8JimBob88]

Good shots there and the race was ace. 6 cars off in the same corner!

Thanks all for your comments, motorsport is never easy so always pleasing to have a couple of good 'uns,

What's the story with Hamilton's qualifying crash ?

The wheel gun was faulty and so didn't apply enough pressure to the wheel nuts and therefore it worked itself loose and damaged the hub assembly. He was just a passenger in a very fast moving car, one thing I was disappointed in was the German Ferrari fans started cheering when he crashed,


and The Alonso / Massa row?

Not quite sure about Massa and Alonso, it looked like Alonso may have rubbed the side of Massa's car as they were side by side, but thats a racing incident.
