2006 F1 Fosters Australian Grand Prix

great shots!
Looks like you had a great time too.

I didn't know about the sticker in the cockpit.
GP17 - is that a "dry run" fro the crew?

Yes, the pit crew did lots of practices. They got a "pretend" 4 tyre change and re-fuel down to around 6 secs :shock:

The poor guy at the rear who had the job of jacking the car up kept messing up. They repeated the practice several times until they got it right.

Vaughan how could you come so near the car depot? Are you friends with any high boss in the racing team?

My boss paid a fortune for the best seats / table in the Paddock Club Ferrari Club. Part of the package deal is a walk through pit lane and a personalised walk through the Ferrari pit. You can ask any question you want and photograph anything except the engines.

Updated with more pics :!:

GP22, GP23 & GP24 show the Intel vs AMD rivalry is alive and well even in Formula 1.

GP25, GP31, GP32 and GP33 show the Safety Car. Now that's a good looking Merc.

GP35 - decent petrol bowser hey?

GP27 - Toyota girls were very photogenic

who is GP19

[vaughan]

Me. :roll:

[Strongbow]

We want more pit girls!!! :D

"Photogenic" very diplomatic ...I would have said "Phwooorrrrr"

Re button stopping short of the line: that makes sense. If they have a DNF there is no penalty for changing motor before the next race.
