British Grand Prix,
Silverstone, UK
July 2001
In July, we got tickets to
the Saturday practice session of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Was good to see the cars go around for a while although not the best way
to spend £65. I think I much prefer to sit in front of the TV and
catch all the action. Better still, a corporate tent at the race
track with a TV.
Formula
1 Practice Session on the Saturday before the race
Ferrari, Williams, Sauber
and another Ferrari going past.
Jaguar
Helicopter parking area
Jaguar or maybe Sauber.
Who knows? Who cares? Time to buy a decent telephoto lenses.
if you thought these photos were bad, you should've seen all the others
that contained no cars and were the result of my poor attempts to take
action photos of objects going a whole lot faster than I could move and
press a camera button.
Williams
Arrows
Jordan
Sauber
My favourite team - Minardi.
My father and I used to call ourselves the Minardi team when we used to go
go-karting. In one race, we lost a rear wheel after someone
(possibly me) forgot to tighten up the wheel nuts.
Sauber and a Mclaren
Harrier
Jumpjets and Helicopters
Harrier Jumpjet doing a
display. Must get SLR with telephoto lens one of these days.
Fancy helicopter. They
were all over the place.
Formula
3000 Race
Cars close together at the
start.
Close racing but a bit of
distance starting to appear.
F3000 cars racing.
Close up on corner leading
into one of the straights.
Mark Webber, Aussie and F1
wannabe racing around.
Mark Webber again.
Two Russian cars going
around.
Russian cars again.
Why where they russian? Well, it's because they were behind and they
wanted to catch up. Boom Boom. Poor joke.
