2010 Santander British Grand Prix – Friday 9th July

Jenson Button during free practice on Friday, this is him taking the left into the chicane after the Vale straight, before Club.  I might be biased but the McLaren is the best looking car in the field!

 

The Lotus is probably the second best looking car.  This is Heikki Kovalainen.

The Force India of Adrian Sutil.

A Red Bull running a bit wide at the exit of Club.

 

A GP2 car, sorry but I am not clued up on who is who in GP2, but he is getting a lot of oversteer through the new Abbey corner.  Abbey used to go left and was more of a sweep than a corner, now it goes right and is a lot tighter than it used to be, combined with a bump on the entry it caught a lot of drivers out.  After this he ran wide and only narrowly avoided the gravel trap.  Some boring info, the F1 cars were taking Abbey flat out in 7th gear (+/- 190 Mph / 300Kmh!!!).

 

 KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! This is one of my favourite photo's I took throughout the weekend.  This photo also gives you an idea of how tight Abbey is and how small the run off area is.
