Maranello, my favorite Italian name.

Great pics Leigh.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

$30's??? Not sure the exchange rate, but you wouldn't get a ticket for less than £100 at silverstone last I checked infact current rates, £185 at farm, which is not even a good view this year. theiving bstrds.

Good shots, I can tell you from pleanty of experience, shooting F1 cars is tough even when they are at low speed, they are quick little buggers

My friend got a free ticket so i brought his other one

where they are 70 for a consesion (under 18 student thingy) or 100 normal. More money for Bernie Cheesy

I know i was standing on turn 10 (near the sweeping left right) they would be going about 200kph at that point i think if not more. But i managed to get a few decent shots im happy...deaf but happy Cheesy

The side on's look like they were from just after turn 10 which is the right left onto the back straight into the left right you are on about which is 11-12.. is that right?? If so try 240 kph. The Petrov shot looks like turn 15 just before the pits???
Keep up the photos please.. Some of Schumi would be most appreciated.. Wink

That race was more than worth staying up all night for!

Excellent shots!
