2015 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

[TheJock]

What a weekend!!! I took me days to recover from the muscle fatigue, the 3 litre beer towers didn't help with that either ;D
Anyhoo, here's a whole range of images from iconic people to the actual racing from a fantastic weekend, I hope you enjoy them.

ouch!

I've got a feeling Honda will get it right next year, just suffering from an undersized turbo stuck between the cylinder banks which they could do nothing about this year, the chassis looked quite good by the end of the season.

Williams problems are a little deeper..

Hi Stewart.
Great series of shots, some nice panning work. Like the shot of the flat spot being made on the tyre on the flex box sponsored car.

Cheers, Graham.

My train of thought when looking at the second picture: That looks to be a bit quick for a McLaren...oh wait, its a GP2 car, nevermind. ;D

Faily dull race, and season really. Hopeful that Ferrari's increase in pace this year continues into next and they can close the gap further.

F1 has become very boring this year.
I used to be a big fan of F1, but now it is just a procession of ugly and boring sounding vehicles.

Thanks Rusty, I really should have put that info on the first post, sorry!
I used my 5DIII with the 100-400L exclusively, there are so many different settings as the light changes so quickly in Abu Dhabi that I left off the exif data, or I would have been at this thread for hours
I'm in agreement with all of you about the season overall. My biggest shock was seeing the American GP is in doubt next year, that was one of the major highlight races this season, it had everything! so i'm hoping that it goes ahead in 2016.
