A few pictures taken from yesterday (Saturday) at Silverstone. Many thanks to Richard Gledhill who manged to organise a VIP pass Great day, got to see loads of stuff in the paddock that you wouldn't normally. Managed to blag our way into the pits and the Ferrari motor home!

One of Ferrari's subtle setups


Mike Gascoigne


Prof Sid


Briatorie


Looking through from the back of the Ferrari pits


Jackie Stewart


Jacques Villenueve


Nicki Lauda - he had as many film crews following him as Schmacher!


Murray 'nice bloke' Walker


Porsche Cup


Fab tyre trucks




Richard Gledhill setting up the data logging on one of Infineon's GT3s




We got into the pits on the back of Infineon's tyre truck, these shots were taken while moving up the pitlane following the walkabout




Ferrari pits


Watched the Porsche qualifying from the Ferrari pit wall






One of the Infineon GT3s during qualifying


Ferrari pits again


So we're sitting in the Ferrari motor home..... Drinking some very nice Italian coffee, when Max Mosely, followed by Schmacher, Barrichello and Jean Todt walk through - wish I had the camera ready. (Note the (real) carbon fibre table tops!)


Justin Wilson


Fisichella


Jarno Trulli (not surprisngly) looking very happy




Great day out - I will look forward to watching the race at home today on TV with a decent view!

Cheers
Chris

Think you've got a few captions screwed up.
The one that says "Prof Sid" is actually Mike Gascoyne.
The one that says "Allan McNish" is actually Prof. Sid Watkins.

Yeah that is Murray in the background - didn't notice at first!!

The pictures were all taken at 2meg res (highest on my camera) - original format was 1200x1600. My camera is a Fuji Finepix 2800:


Highly recommended and you can pick them up for under £200 now.

Thanks for all the comments!

Will be taking the camera to Germany this week for the WRC, so I'll post up some shots next week.
