2010 Santander British Grand Prix – Saturday 10th July

Here is a sequence of photographs of some Porsche GT3 Supercup cars.  Much slower and easier to get good pictures of them compared to the F1 cars.

 

 

 

 

Crossing the finish line… during qualifying.

 

Jenson entering the pits during practice on Saturday morning.  The F1 cars have this wonderful crackling backfire when they are slowing down, you mostly hear it when they are slowing down to the pit lane speed limit.

 

Jarno Trullis' Lotus catching a bump on the pit straight causing a few sparks.

 

Seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher in his Mercedes.  I didn't ever think that I would get a chance to see Schumi driving an F1 car!  Not that he did all that well.

 

Sakon Yamamoto in his HRT leading/holding Jarno Trulli up during qualifying.   It would have been nice to have seen a Senna (Bruno) but they replaced him with Sakon, for financially motivated reasons apparently.

 

Jenson Button.

 

Lewis Hamilton on his way to qualifying fourth.

 

Sebastian Vettel, this must be during Q1 or Q2 as he has the hard tyre on (no green ring around the outside of the tyre wall, which they hardly ever use in Q3 because they usually have less grip than the softer option). 

 

Lewis again, this time he is waving to me after having got his fourth place in qualifying.  No, he is not waving to any of the other of the 100's of McLaren fans surrounding me. 😉
