Nice Mickat.
Here are some more from the weekend. Qualifying sucked and thankfully it's going back to what it was last year. It may not be perfect but at least you had time to applaud the drivers on the cool down lap at the finish of the session unlike this year where it was all over with 3 minutes still to run and no one on track. The race itself had it all - great to watch trackside.

Thanks Roo and Mickat for the images, I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did watching it all on TV!
Poor Alonso, my heart stopped when I saw that crash unfolding before me, even after he walked out as he was obviously in pain, 2 minutes later his helmet was off and he was waving to the crowd, a true gentleman of the sport!!

Thanks Click and Stewart.
Alonso's attitude to the accident was excellent and his reason for getting out of the car so quick was priceless - he knew his mother was watching and he didn't want her to worry.
On another note, Renault were very accommodating to the point they passed one of their steering wheels to the crowd to photograph during the pit lane walks. Very brave considering how many people were in the lane at the time

Love the night shots, Stewart. Great stuff.
Hats off the Roo as well. I was hoping to catch some spray coming off the tires (like you did) at last year's USGP qualifying, but it got rained out.
I felt really bad for the fans with the horrific qualifying format. What a farce! Good thing it's reverting back to the old system.
I have to stick my foot in my mouth for my prior comments about Haas. I figured it would take several seasons for them to score a single point. Needless to say, my prediction couldn't have been further from the truth
Too bad Ferrari threw the race away with their tire strategy. Hopefully the Scuderia's pace and Nico's hot streak will make this season more interesting.

Thanks very much V8. I went to one of my regular corners but could see if I went round to shoot from the corner entry instead of exit I would get the spray backlit. It seems not many like shooting from behind the cars as I was one of very few that tried it. Here are a few more from that spot.
Agree about Haas and Ferrari - one got the strategy right while the other dropped the ball from prime position.
It was funny that the day after the GPDA's open letter about the obsolete decision making process, the Strategy Group proved them right again by not being able to make a decision on ratifying the teams decision to revert to the old qualifying system. Crazy world.

Thanks Roo and Click,
I wanted to do like a day by day upload but the internet in my hotel room was terrible.
I got some more to come with some ones that I'm happy I got but also unfortunate that someone could have been seriously injured, but all is well ....
